Did I really find out -- inadvertently, via my cousin's Facebook wall -- that my sister died... over two weeks ago? Such a thoughtful family of origin. Can't break off 20 seconds to call me overseas? if that's too much of an undertaking, maybe reach out via email? I can still access that as I am not floating around on a chunk of ice in the arctic circle though it certainly feels that way now. Message heard, loud and clear. Go **** yourselves. But there is a bright side in all of this as it will serve as the impetus to my placing even more emphasis on shielding my girls from such petty and vindictive assholes.
