Replies Becky05001994 Posted at 10:55 am on July 4, 2009 maybe he dosen't want the memory of seeing your grandma close to death. i saw my grandad two days before he died and it was horrible. i always see tht image when its quite EmilyAnn Posted at 9:55 am on July 4, 2009 Don't be so hard on him; it's probably his job that's being the asshole. The last job that I worked at wouldn't have let me go to visit my dying grandmother. No joke. One time this chick asked for a Saturday off so she could attend her grandma's cancer benefit and the HR manager told her absolutely not. Oh, and another time this chick's grandpa died on Christmas Eve and they wouldn't let her leave. Fortunately, I came in to cover for her but otherwise they wouldn't have let her go...

I'm sorry about your nan :( I don't think he gives a fuck....all he cares about is pot and his stupid ugly girlfriend marie ann sue or whatever her name is... :( NakedSun Posted at 5:53 pm on July 3, 2009 Everyone deals with things differently. It might not be a case of him thinking work is more important. When my grandfather was dying I wasn't able to go a) because my work told me I'd be fired if I left on such short notice and B) my boyfriend at the time didn't want me to. Don't judge cause you don't know the whole story.
