Vent -- my family sucks (not about weight loss)

Okay I love them but man they suck!

As many of you know my best friend of 20 years died last week. Her service is tomorrow. My son and I are going. But here is the kicker for me.

I do not have a car. It will take me 2 hours by bus to get there. I would go 200 hours for this woman.

But NOT one person in my family has offered to go with me, or even drive me there. Yet I know if it was either of my sister's BFF they would have not issues doing it.

My other BFF has offered to take us. But this girl is late for everything. If she says she will pick you up at 10...I don't even shower till 9:45AM cause I know she will be at least 1 hour late.

VENT OVER!

    I'm sorry for your loss. 19 years ago Thursday my baby's daddy was killed, I was 7.5 months pregnant with my son and he was in the middle of getting a divorse. My sister went with me but of course his dad and soon to be ex planned and were in charge of everything, even though my sister went I don't believe she knew or anyone else understood the importance it was to me. I cried in silence as I didn't want to be disrespectful. He had two small children that were there. I had met them but don't even know if they knew what was going on, anyway when his daughter grew up she looked for my son and it wasn't until after that when I was able to just feel free and let it out. It took about 17 years and i wish people would have understood my pain but to this day I don't believe they do or will. I don't know if this helps at all but know that you are doing whatever it takes to get there and she can see you or feel your prescence so no matter how you get there or if your late, she knows your heart. Have a safe trip and I'm sure they are not even aware as to how this hurts you. Peace be with you :)
