I'm not entirely certain if that old adage is true but as of now I am inclined to believe it. Two and a half weeks ago I went to my mother's funeral...and I just found out today that my Grandpa died and his funeral was today. And I missed it because I wasn't told he was gone. Who does that? Isn't someone responsible for telling the "surviving" family members that their loved one is gone? Well...apparently someone was supposed to tell me but just...oh I don't know...forgot? WTF?! Who forgets something like that?! Especially since said person is almost family. My Grandpa joined my mom and her brother today and I didn't know. What next? My Grandma? Will someone deign to tell me the news a month after that? Why didn't my step-dad call me? I mean, I'm fairly certain he doesn't like me all that much especially considering he's basically ignored my attempts at contact since mom's funeral but really? He couldn't tell me either? What the fuck kind of fucked up world is this where we have to find out about things such as this second-fucking-hand?

I hate everything right now.
