My FAMILY Excluded Me From Grandpa's Funeral Because I'm Adopted—The Will Reader Had Other Orders
‪@revengerevival11‬

The church parking lot was full of cars I recognized. Aunt Martha's silver Mercedes. Uncle Tom's ridiculous lifted truck. My siblings' vehicles lined up like a memorial to all the family gatherings I'd been slowly pushed out of over the years.
I sat in my beat-up Honda Civic, watching family members file into St. Augustine's, all dressed in black, all there to say goodbye to Grandpa Joe. Everyone except me, apparently.
"This is family only," my brother Michael had said, his hand flat against my chest, physically blocking me from entering the church. "Real family, Lily."
My sister Sarah had stood beside him, not meeting my eyes. "It's what everyone wants. Don't make a scene."
"I'm his granddaughter," I'd whispered, my voice breaking. "He raised me just like you."
"You're adopted," Michael said, as if I could have forgotten. As if the word hadn't been used as a weapon against me for the past twenty-five years. "There's a difference."
So I'd retreated to my car, mascara running, watching through the windshield as my cousins—who hadn't visited Grandpa once in the nursing home—walked right in. As aunts and uncles who'd forgotten his birthday for years were welcomed with open arms. As everyone who shared DNA was considered more family than the girl he'd taught to fish, to play poker, to change a tire.
