You made a choice.
Live with it. Respect their wishes. You managed to not be there to give literal support over the past two years. You turned your back on your brother during the time he needed it most. And you are surprised the family wants nothing to do with you?
Have you experienced someone dying of ALS? It is a nightmare for the victim and their support system and Family. You were not part of that system.
What should you teach your children? You should teach them that political positions that are exacerbated by the internet are not more important than blood relationship.
You are a fool. And you should kneel before God and beg his forgiveness. Their anger at you is not because of politics. It’s because you turned your back when they needed your support.
You should not attend out of respect. You should not attend because you chose to let him die in your heart years ago. Why bother now?
You call him a fool and attack him based on a broad interpretation off how and why he did not see his brother the last two years. You do not know the context, the conversations, nor the infractions the rest of his family have had. You could have invited him to consider how his actions might have contributed to the problem. Instead, you went on full attack mode on a grieving man.
You are more than a fool. You acted as an evil, self-righteous minion of Satan when you spoke this way. Cry out to God for mercy to heal your heart.
May want to pull on the reins of that mighty high horse a bit. The person is grieving and we don’t know all the details.
You also made a choice to poke your ugly finger in the eye of a person dealing with the loss of a sibling. What a complete and total jerk wad you literally are. This person had NO choice in the choices liberal minds make. Yeah, I expect you to turn your cheek because you asked for it.
That is way over the line - especially on a thread like this.
Your whole post is one, long, self righteous personal attack, on a person you don't even know. It's also a violation of the house rules.
Shameful.
Vermont Lt,
I have experienced someone with ALS dying. It’s probably the worst disease a person can live/die with in my opinion. I failed to specify that it’s my brothers family that is evil and mean spirited. I had tried to reach out to my brother multiple times and no response. I’m guessing that he was unable to move his arms at that point, unable to answer the cell phone. Certainly would have made the attempt to visit for sure. The community they live in is not the greatest area of Atlanta and even when I was visiting regularly getting past security was a struggle. I admittedly did not call the in-laws because of how they are. I without question wouldn’t have thought of brining my kids to visit with him as the family is a bunch of pot smoking, alcohol drinking people who rely on the government for their paychecks.
I understand your post but I was only trying to specify one thing that was made abundantly clear by my brothers family. We are not welcome at the funeral and they want nothing to do with any of the family, including Uncles and Aunts. This is political in my mind due to the arguments from the Obama loving, Hillary voting family members who unfriended, blocked numbers etc from all the family members who showed support for our POTUS.
That is all. I wish you a good day.
