Hiya BetterMost friends!



Happy Thursday everyone!

No plans for the weekend here, I'm hoping for a nice, quiet two days.  The only thing I need to do is some light cleaning around the aparatment, and take down the Valentine's Day stuff.

Well, without putting too much family business out there.....

I have a cousin who is living with his girlfriend, they had twins less than two years ago.  During the weeked we got word that one of the twins had died, unknown causes.

Wake was on Tuesday, we got word on Monday the cause was SIDS.

Apparently some people in the family were not happy with how the news was spread, things were taken personally, and someone decided that the appropriate time to bring this up with my cousin was during the wake.

::)

Things have smoothed over now, but causing a scene at the wake of a child was uncalled for.

My family is so devoid of drama, both nuclear family of origin and extended. We never have big conflicts over anything. Not even little conflicts, not since I was 20 or so (over stuff like grades or, let's say, my youthful adventures). Everybody just politely gets along. Which is good, I guess, if a little boring.

Now the part of my family that includes me, my ex and my kids, that's another story ...  ::)

I'm very sorry to hear about the death of the baby. I can't even begin to imagine what that must be like for a parent.  :(
