I really don't have a lot of money to throw around. If I do find myself getting a hotel room and a car out there, it will be a sad commentary on my family. I shouldn't have to. I will try my darnedest to accommodate what anyone suggests and be as little bother to anyone as possible. My sisters and I are all mature, retired women. Their kids are grown up adults. This should work out smoothly, if we all try to be reasonable. I'm making a trip to see my brother's remains laid to rest with some dignity and some respect for his humanity, despite how troubled he was in life. I'm doing the very best I know how. Each day, I cry thinking about him and what addiction and mental illness did to him. I may be the only one shedding tears over him. That's okay. They can at least be nice to me, when I get there. I kind of think they will be. If not, I'll vanish so fast from their midst, there won't be time for any arguing.
