Stranger things can happen

I always read the obits in the Hartford Courant since it's one way that Iwill find out information that I may otherwise never learn.

Today, I learned my "fathers'" wife passed away on Saturday. No big deal to me. I met her once or twice and it was many years ago. She is someone I don't know and never had a desire to get to know. Out of curiosity I read the obit and I found out that I was listed as a step-daughter. They have some nerve. After all these years of little to no contact and me not even knowing who she is and she has no real idea who I am. As a matter of fact neither does anyone in my family. I can't believe they felt they needed to list me as a step-daughter.
What did surprise me and made me somewhat angry is they did NOT list Becky as a grand-child. They listed her other grandchildern. If they had the foresight to list me, they should have done the same for Becky. At least Becky still has contact with her Grandfather, though she doesn't see him.

To me it makes no sense to include one and not the other. Becky will soon turn 20 so even if they wrote the obit a little while back there would be no reason to exclude her.

My Aunt from Lebanon actually called me this afternoon to tell me about this since she did see my name in the obit. I thanked her for calling. We chatted for a few minutes and she let me get back to lunch and I'm sure she had other things to get done.
She is one of the only family members that I can trust.
