More often than not, parents find a way to disappoint their children. Yesterday I learned that my 42 year old daughter’s grandma — on her dad’s side — had passed away — may she rest in peace!✌️ Needless to say, my daughter was devastated! However, what made it even more devastating, was that her dad, didn’t even inform her of her grandma’s passing, until a full two weeks after the fact, and not until the day “after” the memorial service held in her honor!!

Two weeks — by text no less — not even an actual phone call!! Why didn’t he inform her sooner, so that she could have made bereavement plans and taken her children to say their formal goodbyes to their great-grandma?! Why? Who does that?! What really gets me upset, is that my daughter is so kind and generous and loving. She’s had a strained, as well as, estranged relationship with her dad, but she always gave him the benefit of the doubt, regardless of his past actions. This incident however, may possibly be the straw that finally broke the camel’s back!!

I just don’t know what else I could have done to get him to acknowledge his daughter, but to no avail. And, it didn’t help much that he began showering his other daughter — from a different mother — with all the love and affection that he rarely showed for “our” daughter, especially in her formative years. She needed her dad, but he kept letting her down. His other daughter? Hmm . . . Let’s just say with her dad by her side, her modeling career just might take off — if it hasn’t already!! More power to her, I don’t begrudge her a thing, however I do take umbrage on their father, for NOT treating both of his daughters equally!! In the end, he’s the one missing out on his beautiful grandchildren, but it appears he’s washed his hands of them as well — seems he’s Pontius Pilate — washing the fate of Jesus from his hands . . .

I’m sorry, I needed to get that off my chest, however, I must now speak on Dianna Brown, my daughter’s grandma. She was the sweetest, the nicest, the most genuine person I’ve ever met in my life!! She welcomed us into her home, she treated us warmly and with respect!🙏 She actually took the time to get to know me and understand me, she was truly good people — not a rotten bone in her body!! She will be missed!! She may have suffered in the end, but she’s out of her misery now! Rest in Peace sweet Dianna, thank you for being a beautiful part of our lives!! We love you and we’ll miss you. . . . 😔
