I am seeing the future

and I don't know if it is a good thing or a bad thing. I had a convo with my sis a few weeks ago and she gave me some bad news about an inlaw of hers. I kind of blurted out something pretty tasteless and instantly apologised etc. moved on and discussed how she and family were holding up etc and then didn't think anything more about it.

Apparently that was much the only thing she remembered and ws ticked off about it but didn't say anything to me.

Regardless even if my comment wasn't plausible or within the realm of the possible, it was inappropriate.

I guess that working as a nurse in a field were a good percentage of my patients die, long after having a history with them has made me somewhat callous and I have a well developed case of black humor.

I wonder if this will make me one of those old ladies who say exactly what they think no matter how inappropriate. You know, those eccentric types that people try to avoid? Crazy Aunt type. Actually we have one of those in the history of our family that had an acerbic manner and didn't care who she offended. She was cremated and then surreptitiously divided into small containers and slipped into different family members coffins at their subequent wakes over the years. She is probably all buried now. I'll have to ask my Dad about it this Thanksgiving.

So at any rate, I'm sorry Sis, I was inappropriate and insensititive. Hope your family is doing better.
