    BTW, this could be an intentional thing to try and convince you to move back to the local area.

    There’s that one famous Reddit story recently about someone who’s family went as far as not telling her about a major funeral and then gaslighting her when she realized and didn’t drop the issue.

      Here’s one for you. I would absolutely swear I talked to my second cousin Wilfred at my grandmothers funeral, for ten or twenty minutes, got all caught up. A year later, mom mentions something in passing about Wilfreds’ funeral. I ask what happened, and that’s when I learn Wilfred died 5 years before of pneumonia, and was buried in that sane cemetery. I has been living on the coast and no one told me.
