    I posted this a couple of weeks ago--upset that the DF'd daughter couldn't give the 50th anniversary party for her parents. It was given by the sister-in-law instead. I thought that the daughter and her brother would not be invited, but I was wrong. She was not only there, but her DF'd brother drove over 1,000 miles in his motor home hoping to see his parents. Lots of other "worldly" relatives showed up from out of state bringing gifts. Well the party started at noon, and the golden anniversary couple didn't show up. Everyone was stunned, and there was plenty of conversation about how Grandpa didn't want anything to do with his DF'd children. Finally, about 5 p.m. Grandpa and Grandma decided to drop in. Clyde and I weren't there, but I heard their children stayed out of the way and never had a conversation with their parents--at least with Grandpa. I understand that the Grandma was upset and wanted to see her kids. I hope she did. What a nasty situation....

    Was it ever determined why they were 5 hours late?

    "Was it ever determined why they were 5 hours late?"

    Don't know the whole story. There was something about having some grandkids with them, and they were bringing them back. I'm hoping that Grandma had a chance to talk to her son and daughter.

    I was happy that my friend, the sister-in-law of the couple, invited the whole family, including those that were disfellowshipped. Oooh! I wonder if this will get to the elders. Well, there were no (active) witnesses there.
