My last days are ruined

My last days are ruined

It's so crazy rite now. i only got 6 more days until im off NC A&T. My fam is throwin all my plans off. Some guy that my fam is callin my great grandfather, just died. i never even met this guy 4 real and truly, i dont even believe that im related to him. i guess it would be fair to say that im being selfish and insensitive, but with only a short amount of time left before i leave, i want to spend with the people that mean most to me like my boys and girlfriend but now i got to go see my "great grandmother" on my last saturday. and i probably have to go to the funeral but im not going cuz my mom knows that i don't mess with funerals. Call me mean and ignorant or wateva but im tryin to chill with the people i actually kno and the people that have been there with me for a good while now. i dont know what to do. 4real im afraid to tell my mom that i aint tryin to go but 4real im not tryin to go. if it were a family member closer to me there would be no problem. but i dont even know these people. give me your opinion. am i just being insensitive or can you see my justification?

Well my brother, honesty is the best policy. You are in a unique situation you really should weigh the pro's and con's. You don't know him so you hav eno real emotions concerning his death, but again he's your family (I guess)?! My suggestion is to go to the Wake and leave. You would've paid your final respec to him and have time to spend with your friends. Pray on it let GOD lead you. PEACE
