Again I want to thank everyone for their kind words I do want to ask a question my one half brother who my mom raised since he was 8 after their ran off is not going to be here in Tn. for the services now here is his excuse him and his wife have made plans for this weekend it see her brother who is going to have chemo at the end of the month maybe I am wrong but they can see him anytime but this is the last time they will see her does anybody here think this is wrong?Here what makes me even more mad when my father passed away she could not come because she had to stay with her cat I think she show no respect at all what do you all think?

I have no answers for you. But I can understand where your coming from. When my 86 father passed away in 07 my older brother did not see fit come home from Alabama for the service or return any of our calls till weeks after the funeral. Still very raw over it. My father worked very hard making sure no of us went without what we needed and sent my brother debt free through college. Guess he just couldn’t make the time for Pop.

Not to defend anyone but some people can not mentally take going to a funeral. Life is to short to get angry over it.

Sometimes circumstances won't let you do what you want to. My nephew passed on in February. I am about three hundred and fifty miles away. Have a full time job 24/7, bunch of cats,two that need medicine every twelve hours, nobody that I can depend on to give it to them, not enough extra money to pay for expensive gas to make the trip. I couldn't attend his funeral. Do I feel bad?, of course I do, but there was nothing else I could do. Sometimes life is cruel.

She isn't here so won't miss them. Funerals are for the living. Many need it to assist in closure, others to show respect for those still living. Can't defend them for not coming to your father's funeral; they should have been there for your mother. But if not close to you or the remaing siblings and don't need help with closure, no problem with them staying away.

Maybe I misspoke when it is her side of of the family there is no option for him he goes whatever plans he made or else.

sounds like her side of family is more important, but , he still has a mind of his own; its on him- dont sweat it. Your Mom done right by him, what he does is his problem,

Sorry for your loss. I do what I think is right or possible and other people do the same. I do not spend time wondering what somebody else is doing> Not my business.
