Went to the funeral visitation yesterday for my cousin's baby. Cousin (and her siblings) seemed very happy we showed up. Aunt made it clear she was happy to see me, but not so much my parents. Awkward. The pictures and the the tiny teddy bear shaped urn broke my heart. Then it took my three hours going back home because of horrible traffic. Then we had dinner with friends last night and I drank too much to compensate for crappy day. I have a headache bigger than my head. The end.
My cousins were happy to see my parents, my aunt was not. They have had differences over the years but they are in speaking terms, although not close. But my dad's family is very dramatic...I was saying to my cousin (sister of the one who lost her baby) how it would be nice for all the cousins to try to gtg this summer. And she was all "yes and our parents too, eh mom?" Her mom was talking with my mom at that moment and turned around and said "I don't think I would come. There is a reason we don't have a relationship anymore, I feel like I gave tried so many times and was always hurt". The look on my mom's face, omg.( Aunt is my dad's sister) Oh well. My parents were happy they went and showed support to my cousin even though my aunt was so weird about it.
