@allenstenhaus @hellomiakoda @Autistrain @asbestos @hosford42 @sal @actuallyautistic @neurodiversity @Tooden @ScottSoCal @pathfinder @markusl @johnettesnuggs @sentient_water @Adventurer I even laughed at my father's funeral because there was something I found quite absurd, in a funny way. Couldn't help it.
One of the many things I don't miss about my bio-family is their macabre version of funerals.
"Oh, hey, you kids, circle up around the casket, we're gonna get one last shot of you with gramma."

@ScottSoCal @allenstenhaus @hellomiakoda @Autistrain @asbestos @hosford42 @sal @actuallyautistic @neurodiversity @Tooden @pathfinder @markusl @johnettesnuggs @sentient_water @Adventurer I'm the last one of my family. My grandparents are long dead, my mother died from cancer two days before that orange bastard became President of the USA, and my father died two years after my mother, drowning himself in alcohol after she was gone. I haven't got any siblings, my aunts and uncles are dead, and all my cousins hate me and don't talk to me. I'm 48, single, no children.
I'm at the opposite end of that spectrum. 4 siblings still living, with all their spouses and children, both parents (last I heard), and too many cousins, their spouses and children and all the childrens' children, and some of their children. Fortunately, they're all 2 states away. I'm gay, married, with one adopted daughter (and her children).
