hrm, I am sorry to hear that your uncle passed away. I'm not surprised by your h's reaction. Their empathy chip is totally broken and their responses to such things as this are just cold and awful. My xh has lost 4 close family members in the last year and he hasn't attended not one funeral, sent not one card or flower, nor has he called or texted some of the cousins that he use to be close to. One day, hopefully, they will regret their actions. I'm sure your father was very disappointed that he didn't attend, as he should be.
Congratulations on the garden boxes! So, what are you planting in them? You should be proud of yourself and you definitely will have plants growing in them very soon, if the bunnies and other animals do not make a meal off the plants!
You are doing very well...keep up the good work!
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
