Geez, my family is weird

[tourmalina]

Nobody phoned to tell me the news of my father's passing. I got a message on Facebook from my sister -- which I wasn't aware of until two days later because I hadn't been online during that time. My sister, by the way, lives about 15 minutes away

That is terrible! What is the matter with them? He was your father too. That's hateful!

I am soo sorry . . .

HUGZ - So sorry to hear this news. First I am very sorry for your loss, I cannot imagine the range of emotions you are going through. Sorry you didn't get the opportunity to say a proper goodbye to your dad. I learned that hard way in 2012 that my immediate family is also weird - cannot count of them for anything. I dread the day my dad passes, because I know my 2 older bros are coming to fight for my dad's house (where I still live). My dad refuses to write a will or change the deed to my name, so I will be homeless once his time comes : (

Thank you for your condolences. It's true that I've been going through some heavy emotions. Even though everyone knows that death is "natural" it doesn't feel that way. I did visit my Dad on Thursday evening (the 13th) and he passed away on Friday Morning. My sister and brother were both there, but I wasn't called or even aware of what happened till Sunday. When I last visited my Dad he was asleep, except for a moment when he looked up and straight at me. I don't know if he recognized me or not. That was my goodbye, even though I wasn't aware of it at that time. I did say "I love you" to his sleeping face, just before leaving him.

Your father not wanting to make a will is worrying. The fact that you live there should count in your favor if things go to court. I wish you all the best. I also have concerns about becoming homeless.
