Guilt Complex
My mother has a real guilt complex. Today she tells me that her father is asking for her, she hasn't called in weeks because my aunt is behaving like a cunt. Why? A simple misunderstanding that my aunt embellished and got the whole familia involved in and now my mom feels guilty!? Wait stop! JODONA!! Why should she? She hasn't done anything wrong. I asked her to call my grandparents for me, as a personal favor to her eldest child.
I reminded her of the visit of my cousin. We were hanging out one night and he was playing the piano and singing, very talented guy. He told us that it had been months since he had spoken with his father and the other day heard a song "I wasn't there that morning when my father passed away. I didn't get to tell him all things I had to say....Say it loud, say it clear you can listen as well as you hear, it's too late when we die, to admit we don't see eye to eye" ("In the living years" - Mike and the Mechanics). Life would have it the other way around because he died a few weeks later in a car accident and his father was weeping saying how stupid he felt for not talking with his son. And he too died before his parents, of throat cancer and his parents my grandparents, my mother's parents are still around and she should take advantage of the time they have left on this earth rather than petty arguments between siblings.
