A good day for no regrets

Maybe they are finally letting go of their toxicity. Maybe today they are taking a step towards doing good. It is about time the lost family let go of their jealousy, hatred, and anger and honor Grandma Lenore. A woman they tried to get declared incompetent so they could take over her finances in 2006, a woman whom they did not consult when taking over the finances of her brother-in-law and whisked him away from everything he had ever known, a woman who they made fun of when she had health problems, a woman who they later despised because she stood up to them, a woman who they stole stuff from over the years, a woman t despised for so many years, a woman who they never helped take care of in her old age, a woman they never visited on Sundays, a woman they lied to when her granddaughter passed away, a woman who they ran away from when she was in a wheelchair calling out her daughters name in the courthouse, a woman who they had not spoken to in years. Whether Grandma and Grandpa are feeling grateful on the other side remains to be seen. Because the lost family did not know that Grandma Lenore did not want a headstone for 2-3 years because she did not want them to know exactly where she was buried. Why did she request this to her Bishop at the time, her family who knew her, took care of her and loved her? Because of the aforementioned things. Simply put, they were not a part of her life. The headstone that was placed goes against her final wishes, but the lost family would not know that because they have never been able to bring themselves around to ask the rest of the family. But that is A-typical of the narcissistic people they are(they continue to make fun of others while ignoring their own flaws. I am shocked that he actually confessed to cyberstalking). Those of us who attended the Graveside service that Grandma wanted and asked for, got together and decided to let them appease their guilty consciences. They had been invited those two years ago to the graveside service, but they couldn't even show up for that. Again in A-typical behavior, they tried to belittle what had been done because they couldn't stand that love won out the day. It is a lot easier to go against what she wanted two years after she died than it was talking to her years before and knowing what she wanted. Two years is a long time to wait... and because they were not a part of her life they know nothing. Instead of Memorializing her death, I got to be a part of her life that the lost family will never know. For she lives on in our memories and the stories we got to experience together. They can’t even respect what Grandma Lenore wanted, but how could they know, they were never around... Doing the right thing would have been talking to her before she died. A real Samaritan helps someone before they are dead... But whatever they have to do to sleep at night.
