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
heyadrian tells us more.
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

That doesnt make OP judgemental, he didn't know he had a stroke he just thought he was being funny!

Oh my heart this is something else. Someone judging a person about being judgmental.

If they were at a family reunion, odds are it's family they haven't seen in awhile, it's not surprising that they didn't know certain things about some of the members.

Well, most families do talk throughout the year, just get together once. Unfortunately it seems that OPs family either decided to not relay him/her the news or just forgot to mention it.

My family talks a lot but I don't even know what happens with my sister.

Honest mistake if you didn't know. Hopefully he accepted your apology.

If he's your uncle you would think it would be common knowledge of your whole family that he had a stroke

he was the uncle everyone was wondering what happened because he isolated himself
isuckwithnames 22
I don't get why people assume you have to keep up with family. I don't even know what goes on with my sister.

Well if that's due to his stroke...i have to say that's pretty badass...

hey OP here. he forgave me and we laughed about it. he is a funny guy and he started doing Rocky quotes with it. I do feel sorry still for pointing it out but I'm also mad how no one told me about him having a stroke a year or so back

I am glad you guys had a good laugh.

Now that I know the back story, it's clearly a FYL. You didn't know because your uncle isn't close to the family. And as other people were laughing, it's clear that you aren't the only one who didn't know what was going on. Glad your uncle is okay with it.

thanks it was a good day at the end even though I had a couple of glares from other family members
isuckwithnames 22
Well who cares what they think. If it's brought up just explain the situation and if they still glare **** 'em

Well, if your uncle, who had the stroke, is okay with it, the rest of the family needs to just chill out.

Nice of your family to inform you.
Curlytwirly22 17
Well that was not your fault you didn't know so it's okay
Curlytwirly22 17
