I've just recieved a message via Facebook from my brother - I was made a Great Auntie to a girl 'Freya' at 8.20am this morning.
After Mum died, 9 years ago at Christmas, we had some family arguments. To cut a very long story short, these were mainly directed towards one particular nephew who was always 'fleecing' his Grandma for money.
We weren't invited to his wedding 3 years ago, but to show no ill feelings I still made him a card and sent it via my brother. 6 mths later Freddie was born again I made a card and also knitted some items for him....again heard nothing in return.
So I'm abit bemused why I've had a 'courtesy call' after all this time telling me the news. I've sent a message back 'Congratulating' them on being Grandparents again and to wish Paul & Kerry well, also asked if it was so important for us to know, why couldn't he have phoned me properly? Atleast if he had have done, it might have opened avenues again
