Gigi,
I see where all of you are coming from.....I think that in a way being so close to it makes us all the more aware. It is pitiful that people do not acknowledge correctly what is going on in this world. (Your friends joke on the meal, became a running private joke at my house. Never said in front of mom, but she actually got to the point for awhile where the only food I could get her to eat was the same meal every time! Breakfast, lunch, dinner)
I too agree it is pathetic when someone is more than willing to run down their ailments point by point but then totally ignore others. I call it self-centered and unfortunately there are a lot of those people in the world. (Have you ever seen a self-centered person actually take care of someone else?.....)
Before mom passed she had lots of friends who could not come to see her and then she had those who would not come to see her. Her funeral was quite small as that no one that would not come to see her were there. I had one woman flat out tell me.."I could not bear to see the woman who KNew me not know me."....(Hello? She was already dead! If she had acknowledged you there, I would most certainly not be here!) I just plain do not think people engage brain all the time...it's more of a open mouth say what your gonna say then pray you don't put your foot in your mouth type of world most people live in.
HUGS
