Well, let me start by saying that my grandpa has been sick for a while, he's been on a load of medications that ended up ending his life...

My grandfather had a heart attack last week and was moved hospetals to one in Spokanne Washington (which is a complete joke of a hospetal AFAIK), he had a feeding tube inserted last night and died this afternoon at about 4pm...

I woke up this morning at 4am with really bad chest pains, and got up and moved around, turns out everyone in the house had woken up about 4am, including the baby; not to mention that the dog was freaking out as well.

Well, I hear from my aunt at about 4:30pm that my grandfather had just passed and delt with it in my own way, i was going to say goodbye at his funeral...

I got told tonight that since i didn't have as much of a relationship with my grandfather as everyone else who is going that i'm not allowed to go... Yes, you heard it, I'm barred from my grandfather's funeral because I supposidly didn't have a large relationship with him...

Keep in mind, I was paying not only my own, but my mothers way to the funeral as well...

Now, I may not have had a relationship with my grandfather to where i talked to him every day, but i certainly had a great relationship with him through his and my life... He was the only male figure that i had to lookup to growing up, and the only role model that I had pretty much had my entire life...

Needless to say, I'm completely irate and irratable that my own family would have the guall to bar me from my grandfathers funeral...

I'd usually just show up on my own and stay in a motel, but hopping an airplane the week before christmas costs a lot, not to mention i was going to be paying for myself and my mother... Usually I just crash on the floor of my grandparents livingroom, where NO ONE will be during the week in the first place... But oh well, guess im just a pile of trash...

go to the funeral, kick ass, and take names.

semper fi.

Dude that really is raw. So you now know of several houses that will be vacant for several hours... Time for some old fashioned B&E!!!

that is the most retarded thing I have ever heard of. I don't even know how many funerals I've had to attend of dead relatives who I don't think I ever even met (hey, I'm Italian I have a big family)

if money wasn't an issue I'd say go, if for nothing else just to spite them. No one can forbid you from going to a funeral, what are they gonna do, call the cops? That's just fuckin insane.

The good side of the story is, at least I'm not the only one with a fuckered up family. teehee.

sorry for your loss giz.

He was a great man, and everyone's going to miss him... Everyone loved him...

Example of his other side:

Stergis anyone?

Well there's no way for giz or his mom to go. giz's aunt called last night and left a voicemail message saying that the funeral is on wednesday at 2pm. this was done on purpose cause the ealiest they can get in is 3-4 and the family knew this.

At this point if I see any of giz's family i will be decking the shit out of them...

Greyhound baby! You can get em on short notice. Yeah its uncomfortable as hell, and long as shit, but its a solid way to get you there. Imagine the suprise.
