I don't understand people. If you have something to say, then say it. This is one of the reasons that I hate Facebook. So my cousin J (well, second cousin, she's my Dad's cousin but she's a lot closer to my age) posted on Facebook last night this:
Please keep our family in your prayers as we go through this rough time. She is with dad now.
What the Hell happened? We share many family members, but not all. So I don't except a call if it was someone from her mother's side. But why can't she just come out and say it? They same crap happened last year when people were posting stuff like "Please pray for Mr. Teacher's family." And then no one would say anything else. I had to message people to find out what happened. (A teacher had passes away, very sad. He was a good one.)
I just don't get this beating around the bush crap.
Apparently, I'm not the only one. Another cousin - Cousin S - (and she's some kind of cousin, but I'm not sure how exactly we're related - but we are) messaged me this morning. What's Cousin J's status about?
How should I know?
I told her I was looking into it and would let her know when I found out. At first she was concerned about cousin J's mother. While a legitimate concern, Aunt was in very good health when I saw her last. Cousin J has an elderly grandmother that I'm concerned about and a step-daughter with juvenile diabetes that was hospitalized not so long ago.
So I sent a message to a mutual friend between cousin J and myself. Hopefully I hear something one way or another soon. Do you people see what you do? If you want to share, then share. If not, stay the -eff- off of Facebook. Geesh.
Update - Cousin S suggested maybe something happened to Cousin J's older half-sister. I didn't know she was ill. Nothing confirmed yet.
Update - Cousin S has Cousin C send me a message. Cousin J's older half-sister, Cousin K, passed away last night. She's had cancer (and I'm sure that I knew that, but it isn't something that we talk about, the family is weird that way) and lost her battle last night.
