Misconstrued

Today, I went to a family reunion. I laughed at my uncle's Sylvester Stallone impression. Turns out he had a stroke a while back. FML

OP here. we didn't know my uncle that well he was one of the family members that dropped off the face of the earth. I came in at the wrong time when people were laughing so I thought he was doing an impression this is both a FML and a YDI

Thank you for the sarcasm. It shows you have nothing better to do.

Then I understand how that came about. It's still awful, but understandable and not your fault.

This is why families should share things! Unless You're a mind reader you couldn't have known...

If you're family you should really know all this about them. Definitely YDI

At a family reunion, there is quite often countless family members who you don't know or you aren't close to. This was probably the case here so you can't really blame them for not knowing.

The only reason to hold a reunion is because they DON'T see each other often.

Also some families are far apart, I live in Australia and the rest of my extended family is on the opposite side of the world in China.

You couldn't have known, but you could've been a lot more tactful about things, like by asking why his voice was like that, or avoiding the issue altogether and assuming something might have happened. That way you would've avoided a stroke of bad luck.

Agreed. Sometimes things just align and coincide in all the wrong ways. Sorry for you, and for him.

You need to practice self control

Why. It is completely possible the uncle was not close and she did not know (which seems to be the case). Also, maybe the uncle was known in the family as a joker

Well after reading your reply it makes sense why you were not up to date with his problems

Also why does the OP have to keep up with the family? Maybe s/he moved out of state or maybe s/he doesn't see their family often.
