sessifetWent to my grandfather's funeral today. Talked to many cousins and my grandmother. It seems, with him gone, she might actually have a reasonable chance of seeing most of her grandchildren again.
My quarrel was not really with her. It was my grandfather I didn't want any contact with at all. Seeing as they were part of a set, I had not talked to her since shortly after my 18th birthday and it was good speaking to her again. Unfortunately, she still doesn't think my grandfather did anything wrong, so there's no huge reconciliation in the offing. But I am going to hop 'round soon and see her. She's 86, and probably not going to be around much longer. I do want to talk to her for a bit before I go off to parts foreign.
So...he's dead. She's alive. It could have been worse. It could have been the other way around.
Feeling guilty about being glad he's no longer here passed pretty quickly when I saw the weight being lifted from mum's shoulders. If this makes me a horrible person, I don't care.
