Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, my mom told me that on my graduation day, the reason she (and my dad) almost didn't show up was because they had to spend almost an hour convincing my grandma to attend. FML
Today, out of the 35 people invited, only one person showed up to my bridal shower. It was my grandma. FML
Today, my grandparents told me they couldn't make it to my college graduation, even with months in advance to plan, because they had their annual Mother's Day plans with friends. Plans they've had every year, and are further away. This was the only time I'll ever have a graduation ceremony. My grandpa is my last biological grandparent. FML
Today, I had to pick my grandma up because she was drunk, at church, at 9am. FML
Today, during a family reunion, my 89 year-old grandma stood up and drunkenly made a speech about how ashamed I should be of myself for still being single. She then passed out at the table. Half my family got up to help her, the other half whispered in agreement. FML
Today, my grandmother's excuse for not going to my college graduation was because she'd already bought her bingo card. FML
Today, I was standing in the parking lot with my sister, after my aunt's funeral, when my grandma walks up and says to my sister, "You're the one going places in life, I'm proud to have you as a grand daughter." She then looked at me, and walked away. FML
Today, I woke up early to prepare for my graduation party. I'd invited the entire graduating class of 2011, and tons of people confirmed that they were going to come. Two hours after the time I'd told everyone to show up, I'm still the only one here. FML
Today, it was my college graduation ceremony. My parents didn’t come because they “forgot”, although I told them and had been reminding them for months. Last year was my little sister’s high school graduation. My parents wasted no time going to her ceremony and then took her out to dinner. FML
Today, my grandmother drunk dialed me at midnight to wish me a happy new year. I was already in bed. My grandmother has a better social life than I do. FML

I feel sorry for you OP, I really hope your family members behaved and didn't embarrass you (too much) on your graduation day! At least, your grandma cared enough to not show up intoxicated :)

Finally, a non-evil grandmother story!

Could've been that maybe, just maybe, your drunk relatives were very happy of your accomplishment? I'd take that as a "happy-happy" time for everybody.

Even then middle of the day most likely all of his family with the exception of the grandma shows up trashed? I feel bad for the OP what should be a great day was made considerably less by the family of drunks.

That's rough, but hey, idk how OP feels about their grandma, but if someone I didn't particularly like in my family showed up, I'd still be happy. Congrats for graduating
