I finally upgraded to Wordpress 2.2.1. I almost messed everything up but thank goodness I backed all of my files up and my database. It had it up and running in a matter of 10 mins, give or take a few minutes. I’ve been really out of it the last month or so. I haven’t been really motivated to update like I said that I would but I’m getting into the mood of things lately so maybe I’ll have some updates soon. Don’t hold your breath ;] .
My mother’s best friend (my aunt) funeral was a bit disturbing to say the least. It was sad because her husband was there and he was putting on such an act, that her son was infuriated at his performance. People who didn’t even know him knew that he was faking being distraught the whole time. He was one of the reasons she was so depressed before she died because she was there for him even when he was at his worse and all he did was treat her like garbage. What makes matters even worse is that, when her family tried to make funeral arrangements with her insurance money, the people told her that someone had came down earlier in the day and tried to receive the money. wtf Who would do something so damn insensitive, selfish, and disgusting? A lot of people think that it was her husband but you know, those people at the insurance company aren’t at liberty to give that kind of information. We still don’t know how she passed and neither does her family. They’re waiting on the autopsy report to come back. She was in the hospital a few weeks before she passed because her blood pressure was high and she was drinking. My grandmother always warned her about drinking, knowing that she has high blood pressure. That shit isn’t a joke. I really hope that no foul play was involved. My grandmother said that before my Aunt died, she was going to tell my grandmother something about her husband but never got the chance to :down:. Whatever happened, I’m glad she’s in a better place now. My grandmother started breaking down as they were giving sermons because they mentioned that she would be in a better place with my Mother. My sister started crying too. I held my composure. I know it’s good to cry sometimes but something in me wouldn’t allow me to. All I could do was smile and nod my head. I was sad after the funeral, though. Everything will be alright. She’s at peace now.

I need to upgrade my wordpress. But I’m to lazy.
You know if you ever pay attention at funerals the ones who treated the the person the worst is always the one who acts the worst. I think its the devil coming out because they Know they were wrong in the way they treated the person when they were alive.
I hope all finds you doing well. Take care and be safe

When I clicked on your comments, the post & comments moved under your sidebar sort of. You might want to check that out but moving on…congrats on upgrading. Did you do it manually? at least you had all saved. I’m sorry about the death as well & thats horrible he put on a show at a funeral. People really disgust me sometimes.

Congrats on upgrading to the newest wordpress, I know how hard it can be to do so.
I’m so sorry to hear about your aunt passing, but we all know she is in a better place. Death sends me into depression and what I can say is that you’re strong. I’ve never held my composure at a funeral except for my grandmother but the burial part broke me down. I hope your family recuperates from this and her husband seems a little shady but just remember, what you do to others it will come back in tenfold. Take care!

Yey for not breaking WP!
Sorry to hear about your aunt. :( You did well not to break down at the funeral! It seems like maybe you were trying to be strong for your grandmother and sister? I really hope nothing bad happened with regards to how your aunt passed away. I can imagine it must be really upsetting not to know what happened for sure. Take care x

i tried not to cry at my aunt’s funeral but i could not help it. we had an open casket funeral and tried to look at my aunt but i could not bear it and i started crying. wow, i am starting to tear up as i type this. funerals are so draining- physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. smh @ her husband. i am HOPING there was no foul play. if there was, that person better run from Karma. I cannot believe someone had the audacity to retrieve the insurance money. that’s beyond inconsiderate and heartless in my eyes…

Brook Says:
When I go to funerals .. I cry no matter what, even if I didn’t know the person that well
and its horrible because its not just a tear its like full on crying. At least she’s in a better place. But yeah her husband seems suspicious and hopefully they find out what really happened & hopefully none of it was foul play.

That is really pathetic for him to do. But at least most people saw through the act. Funerals are always hard to go to, but it is sometimes good closure. I hope that is what it brought you.

Upgrading has its bad side and such. So congrats on making everything work perfectly!
I’ve heard of a similar situation, In this case the mother left money for her only child and for her husband to take some of the money has his own going on about how its his wife that died and hes the widow and should get her money…
Its true what you said shes at peace now thats the most important thing out of this whole situation.

I would’ve hated to watch him put on a show. I like to show my ass sometimes and he would’ve saw mine. Let some dude pretend like that around my moms’ body. Lord help me there would be Hell Fire!!! wow @ him trying to collect the insurance money.
She’s in a better place…keep her close.
You are a strong woman shannon! :muah:

Sorry to hear about your aunt. Hope when you get the results back they show that there wasn’t any foul play involved. Thats soo appauling that someone tried to take her insurance money…. there always one who would try and pull summit like that. Because you didn’t cry doesn’t mean your feeling any less emotional that those who did.
Hope everythigns gets easier soon.
Take care and again my condolences

Responding to your comment on my blog,
LOL@ the sidekick situation. I’ve seen those all the time with the guys, since i’m “one of them” I’ve never experience anything like that i’d get a tap on my shoulders and we’d engage into signs converstation… Thats a pretty positive thing to hear about that guy becoming a good friend of yours.

Eileen Says:
I’m very sorry about your lost. It’s hard to know that the one person she cared about hurt her the most. She is in a better place though and that’s what matters. I hope you find out what was the cause of her death soon and I truly hope foul play was not involved.
I didn’t cry at my Grandma’s funeral. Sometimes you just have to be strong for those that are weak. You’re also in this place in which you are sad but happy. Happy that they’re suffering but happy because they are in a better places. Wish you and your family the best.

See what I mean? One of the MAIN reasons why I don’t like to attend funerals. People that weren’t there or that weren’t supportive ALL OF A SUDDEN decided to have this big whelp of emotions over the person dying. Please… :bored:

Jaz Says:
Im very sorry to hear about your loss. Thats really rude of that man to act that way at the funeral. Ive had 3 deaths in the past two years and already have had one this year in January. It’s not easy at all and with the crying, it depends.. for one death I cried straight away and so much that when it came to the funeral I couldnt cry literally and physically couldnt. Then at the other one this year I didnt cry for a while, until it hit me at the funeral and I cried uncontrollably. I think we all take it differently. I wish the best for your family to grieve and they get to the bottom of what happened in a peaceful way. *hugs*

I just remembered that since it’s my birthday today, it’s yours as well. So happy birthday! =)
Aw I’m sorry about your aunt. I always cry at funerals. It’s hella unfortunate & disturbing to see her husband acting somewhat insensitive about the whole thing.. =/ Your aunt is in a good place now though, so that’s good. Take care love

rana Says:
That is so sad, It touches my heart because my mother’s boyfriend and I don’t get along at all. He is so phony when he comes around that for the most part when he shows up I leave the house. He always comes around when he wants his clothes washed or a hot meal, but my mom cant see that he is the main source of her loneliness and stress. I try to intervene but she only takes his side and I’m stuck looking like a hater. I’m hoping one day she realizes he’s no good before he drains her pockets and her spirit.
Also my condolences to you and your family *keeping in ym prayers*
