November 2009 in Babies: 9 - 12 Months
So I used to work at a convenience store about 9 years ago. It's a small town store where all the farmers come in to drink coffee and shoot the shiit. And argue and around election time it becomes a little heated and dentures start flying. Anywho there was this guy who would come in and he wasn't really all that well liked by the other men, mainly because he tried to tell people he went to medical school (which really he went for a year before dropping out and turning to farming...whatever) and acted all uppity and what not. He told me one day that my grandpa (who had passed about 4 years prior to this) cheated on my grandma back in the day. Who does that?! Who tells the granddaughter of a man who has died that her grandpa cheated on her grandma? It really hurt me. It stung. It took me two years before I even talked to my dad about it, and he was furious. I only told my dad because it ate at me, and I didn't want my memory of my grandpa to be tarnished by this crap. My dad said it was NOT true, and to never believe anything that came out of that man's mouth.
Anyway that man died today. DH works seasonally for his son, who is a great person. DH has known his dad for many many years and I know he feels bad for the family. I also feel bad for the family, but I don't really FEEL anything for the man who died.
Flame away.

I can understand and respect your point of view. Not a nice thing to do at all on his part.

I don't think you're required to feel sad if someone you know dies. Especially given that it was someone who intentionally tried to hurt you and your family, because that's all that tale he told could have done.

Agreed.
I've never understood why people feel like the need to be extra nice about someone just because they died. I don't think you should go out of your way to say mean things or that you should be happy... I just think it's okay not to feel sad.

I hate the obligation to forgive and forget just because someone died. Sure, to forgive is divine but to forget if someone was a douche is stupid. I don't want anyone to idealize me when I'm gone. I live my life by the mantra that only truth is real and nothing that is true for you hasn't been done or experienced before therefore always speak the truth. If you truth isn't happy happy love for someone so be it. No worries J4D. Move on.
