((((((HUGS))))))) Thanks for sharing your testimony!! Love ya, cousin ;)
Hmmm, oh, I'm commenting here because I thought you might check here, anyways :)
I dunno what to think about Uncle J's email...I think it's all a bizarre kind of thing...and I think Jodi said it Christmas Eve...Cousin L has no idea how excluding your family on one of the most important days of your life alienates them...I'm still conflicted about it because you can't really read the sincere motive behind his words in an email, ya know? I mean, is he asking, "Show L the money?" or is he sincerely worried that there's a problem, and used the money thing as a cover, or example of what he thinks the problem is...And, to be honest, I really don't know Cousin L enough to know if she's just not into us, or if she did it because of her Mom...ya know? So, as Dad said, it is what it is...it's still his brother, and he can't control what he does or says (obviously!! LOL), he can only control how he reacts to it...
Yada yada yada...Dad doesn't mean to trivialize it, but that's what it comes down to, ya know? We're only responsible for our actions/reactions, whatever...Just praying that this doesn't turn into some big major thing...I know Joe & BJ are different, but they are still family, and they're Christians...so we've got all eternity with them, too!! LOL :)
So, I don't really have a definate answer because I don't know how to react or think...I don't feel obligated to send a "present" (aka money!! LOL), but I think Mom & Dad might, because of Joe & BJ's wedding presents to us...blah blah blah...well, let me rephrase that...Dad feels it more than Mom!! LOL ;) But you didn't hear that from me!! LOL
TTFN :)
In case you check back here...I totally agree. If they didn't think enough of me to invite me to their wedding or reception...then why should I send them a present?!?! I asked some people at work and they don't think that it is "proper etiquette" for them to expect something.
I agree that I hope it doesn't turn into some big thing.....but they don't like us much anyways...so I am sure this is just icing on the cake.
I would just like to point out to Cousin L (but I won't) that we went out of our way (meaning me and others) to include her in our weddings....even when we didn't really want to. AND our parents all went WAY out of their way to go to J & S's wedding....we would've all done the same for her. SO! I am frustrated.....and upset for my mom. Her feelings have really been hurt through all of this!
OH well!!!! Just was curious what your thoughts were!!!
Love ya!
I'm confused and nosey...lol...did Uncle J send a email asking for wedding presents? I hope not lol...that would be tacky...you all have heard about the morning of the wedding though...right? well actually the night before when Aunt BJ left and didn't show up til about an hour before husband and I got there on Saturday...I didn't know it until Grandma told me...but later I was thinking about Uncle J and my heart was just breaking for him...
anyways...umm what email? lol
oh and sis....thank you for sharing your testimony...we all did things in college that we're mortified about too by the way!! ugh....but THANK GOD FOR HIS PRECIOUS GIFT OF FORGIVENESS!!!! WAHOOOO...hard to fathom and accept but He offers it as long as we ask!! PRAISE GOD!!!
anywho...say tuned for my testimony lol...love you so much!!
