The Tim じぁん!!!
It was a sunny day. At dinner, Mom mentioned that one of our relatives with cancer is nearing the end. She seemed conflicted about whether to visit him one last time. Given their history, she's not particularly fond of him. It's likely that all relatives will attend the funeral, regardless of their closeness to the deceased. Many people will put on a show of grief, even if they weren't close. My mom, being the rebel she is, probably won't attend. So, I guess we're cool.

It was a sunny day. Over dinner, Mum mentioned that one of our relatives with cancer is nearing the end. She seemed a bit torn about whether to visit him one last time. Given their history, she’s never been particularly fond of him. Most of the family will likely attend the funeral, regardless of how close they actually were to him. Many will probably put on a bit of a show, acting more upset than they feel. But Mum, being the rebel she is, likely won’t go. So, I reckon we’re alright with that.

Always difficult to know what to do in these circumstances but there’s never anything wrong with honesty.
