Today, my uncle died. It was also my grandpa's 85th birthday. His reaction to the death? "Best birthday gift ever!" FML

Today, we surprised my grandpa by being at his house when he arrived. We haven't seen him in seven years. He had a small heart attack. It was his birthday. FML
Today, my family is still telling me to "get over" the death of my great aunt. The great aunt who always gave the most wonderful birthday gifts, and was overall one of the most pleasant people I've ever met, and I'm NOT allowed to be sad that she's gone. Did I mention she died on my birthday? FML
Today, I went out to see my uncle on my mom’s side and his family for my mom’s birthday. My oldest cousin insisted that he and his wife give their gift first. It was a stuffed bear, along with the news that they’re expecting their first kid, and making my mom a great-aunt. My gift was a cake she used to make. FML
Today, it's my birthday. It's also the day of my grandmother's funeral. I spent most of my 21st birthday in a cemetery. FML
Today, it was my birthday. It was also the only day my family wanted to hold the graveside funeral for my grandmother, who passed last week. FML
Today, it's my birthday. My grandmother died yesterday. We were close and she basically raised me. FML
Today, I found an obituary clipping on my kitchen table. It was for my grandpa. No one told me he died. FML
Today, I found one good thing that came from my great-uncle's death: My family can no longer start arguments about his date of birth. Except now I have a new problem: They're mad at me because I was right all along. Someone's dead and they're too busy being sore losers about a date to care. I miss him. FML
Today, my grandpa passed away. The only emotion my dad showed was anger, because my grandpa owed my dad money. Now he wants to take it from my grandma, like he's some sort of mobster. FML
Today, I texted a friend offering my condolences over the death of his grandfather. He hadn't been told his grandfather had died yet. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

WTF do the current events have to do with anything in people's families??? That's one of the dumbest things I've heard all week!! And who are you to judge and say the grandpa needs his arse kicked, much less by his grandson/granddaughter?? For all we know maybe the uncle was a total jerk who'd been a weight in the family all his life, hence the grandpa's feelings. He's too harsh maybe, but you expecting some young kid kicking some old guy is ridiculous. Think before you write idiocies.

**** your grandpa's life. He deserves it for being hateful at that age. I'm surprised he hasn't cloaked from a stroke or heart attack yet considering how much hatred he harbored all these years.

#65 And you deserve what exactly, for being so hateful and ignorant in your young age?? (And the spelling fail too...) It's funny how kids comment so widely different based on totally preconceived ideas. Maybe it wasn't his son. Maybe it was his son-in-law who married into the family, never worked, drank all day long, beat his wife and kept borrowing gramps' money. Suddenly, the grandpa's comment doesn't sounds so mean anymore, huh? No one here knows whether the dead guy was a douche or not, so we can hardly decide whether the grandpa was just harsh-mouthed or really mean.

Has know one noticed that half the FML these days are from 'Nord-Pas-De-Calais'? Its just the same guy posting anything he can think of, every time i see that its posted from nord-pas-de-calais its automatically ruined because i know its fake. Even if this was true it isnt a FYL.
