[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you to those few who posted positive posts and good advice! My aunt is the sweetest lady in the world. They actually volunteered to send photos, from the graveside service, to her via phone or email. I am not sure why they did not follow through with this. Everyone was polite and we all thanked them for their help when we were there. I was truly grateful that they were paying forward some of the help that my dad had given them over the years. My dad did not want a service. Should they have planned one anyway that only they could attend? I helped pay for it even though they made decisions without consulting me. My dh and I would have paid more but they had already made a deposit and said that they would sell his car to pay for that. Was it expecting too much to think they would follow through with photos, especially to my aunt, when those photos could have been sent by phone or email? I don’t expect anything, now, but will be pleasantly surprised if a box shows up in the mail someday.

This and all your other posts makes it clear it's all about the money and it's all about YOU.  I find it shameful you think because he was still mobile/walking around that he didn't need assistance.  Obviously you've never cared for someone with terminal cancer.

You came on here to get others to agree with your sad actions, and when most of us don't, you try to defend yourself to assuage your guilt and somehow place blame on people who WERE there when your dad needed him.

Your poor father … I am glad he had some people around him during his last days who seemed to care about him.  You obviously didn't.
