An invitation to our grandfather's 2nd death anniversary -- not sure to come

My cousin (from my father's side) sent invitation to us via Facebook for our grandpa's death anniversary. As much as I want to go, but I can't be too certain just yet. I have to consider whether or not my husband can make it, since it's a workday. Also, I don't think it's a good idea to bring the kids with us in that occasion, so I have to arrange babysitting. I also would not want to go there alone, if my sister won't go either. I'm not very comfortable around my father's family, although, I've lived most of my younger years around them, but it was not a very good memory to remember. I just thought of attending the mass and get together, to pay respect to my grandfather's memory. Oh well, it all depends if I could get things covered before the very day. And, that's going to be this coming friday.

Yeah, it might be really uncomfortable to be coming there alone most especially that you mentioned that you have issues with your relatives. But I hope you could come even if you just attend the mass. I am sure that your grandfather will be pleased if you make it this Friday. It might be a step in resolving any issues among your relatives.....

So the day has come, and I've confirmed our non-attendance to the event. Unfortunately, I have noone to leave the kids with, and my husband has work tonight, so all the odds are really against the plan. My sister also wont be able to go. So, I'll just offer a mass this coming Sunday for my grandpa's soul.

Offering mass would be more than enough. I am sure that wherever your grandpa is, he is happy that you still remembered him.

With continued prayers, your grandfather would be happy. Just make t a habit to light a candle each night and say a little prayer for him. It will help him have his peace as well as the rest of the family.
