Along the same lines... I'd say May 2001. My grandpa passed away on my birthday and a few things happened that REALLY still bother me a lot. 1) No one told me for 3 days. I had moved away from home for the first time the week before and some friends were visiting for my birthday. No one wanted to spoil my weekend with friends. I understand, but when I called my sister to check in with her, she had to be the one to tell me. She was 16. And 2) I didn't make it to the funeral. Since I had just started that job my parents felt it would be better for me to stay there and work. There also wasn't a way for me to get there (it was in South Dakota). I could have met my dad and brother but they wouldn't let me. I still get pretty upset about the whole thing, even if my family doesn't really know how much it hurts that I wasn't there.
