He apologized for not accepting my phone call that day and he hoped I would understand. I assured him that I would and had a brief chat with him for a few minutes enquring about his mother and observing about death in general. <br />He expressed thankfulness for my offer of condolence. <br />We shook hands and departed.anilkurup59https://www.blogger.com/profile/07961961217418715354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4448802533825615490.post-44081313793161042302013-02-26T20:06:36.542+05:302013-02-26T20:06:36.542+05:30I have often heard my mom say/advice that never mi...I have often heard my mom say/advice that never miss to pay your last visit at a funeral; but its absolutely fine not to attend a wedding<br /><br />In this case, the father of the guy whom you don't share a rapport with has passed away.

Why then pretend to be sad?<br /><br />Mom insists I call or write. Hard to do when you don't feel a thing.<br /><br />For now I refrain. Will inquire when we meet face to face.

(and I was in that list) Later - much later - during some other discussion he pointed out "but Mr so and so did not come for my father's funeral" That is how narrow his outlook is.
