My dads dad was never a part of my life either, called me racist names just because I was friends with blacks in middle/highschool, so when the man died I cared nothing about going wayyyyy out of my way to go to the funeral. MY dad (which not to mention has not been that much of a part of my life either) seems to still hold that over my head like 5 years later......

Crazy families FTL.

I am really sorry for your loss though. I know how it feels not having certain family members a part of your life. I wondered the same thing about if he felt guilt......guess I will never know.... I just know I didnt really get too hurt over the situation of him passing.....sounds harsh, but ohhh well...its life...
