I know no date will suit everybody but what do I do about this? A very close relative has died a long way away. I haven’t seen him for years but would certainly go to his funeral.
However, the funeral will be on my special birthday, when my entire large family has arranged a surprise treat, planned months ago as it’s hard to get us all together.
I don’t expect his widow to know it’s my birthday, she had to accept a date which suits her own family, but am I being unreasonable in saying I’m sorry but I can’t go?
Do you still wear you original wedding and engagement ring
