My cousin'z grandfather died, and i was supposed 2 go 2 da funeral. But i was kinda told 2 stay at home after uni (was gonna go there after uni) cause this workman is coming over 2day 2 fix a problem wif da house (and im not home all day any other day of da week). Anywayz another cousin of mine came home n told me how sad it was to seem em all cry n then was askin me how i could not have come...kinda ended up makin me feel really bad.

I feel bloody terriblez now...i didnt mean it 2 look like i was bein unthoughtful or even selfish or anything like dat but all my other cousinz n family went and wellz...i feel overwhelmed by this sadness they must be feelin and this feelin of bein some great big ogre that was mean n couldnt even go 2 their grandfather'z funeral *sniff*

and yeah...

... sorry hun

I was gonna go, i was so gonna go...I guess my thing is, is dat even if i didnt know da person terribly terribly wellz (although having said this i saw their grandpa and many family partys from da time i was like..a baby pretty much!!) I tend to cry when i see someone else i care for cry- even if i have no reason 2 cry!! Datz not da reason why i didnt go- but still i feel silly, when i'm supposed to be offering condolences i join in wif da grieving

Shoulda woulda cuolda cancelled the workman, but here you are. I'm sure your cousin's grandfather knows you care, wherever he is now.

Add some flowers to that postcard.
