Okay, sort of a rant but I'll try to make it short.

My aunt died in december, then a family friend died one week ago. In both cases, my parents were pretty matter of fact, and seemed uncaring. Now, my brothers and sister were like well it's finally time that the aunt died. Now our family friend was more like an aunt to us all, my brothers and sister, and they cared more that she died than our own aunt? What the fuck? Yes, we all had our issues with our aunt, but she was flesh and blood, and our friend was close, but now related.

I guess in the long run, I'm happy I had made peace with my aunt, but my siblings will always hold their grudges toward her. But she was family non-the-less. Funny how two deaths can have two completely different reactions.
