`You hurt my feelings! Why did you sit all the way back there in the pews? Did I do anything to offend you?`
~Señiora Josie (02/25/2010 prior to the 08:00am morning mass)
That morning during morning’s mass, Carlos and Josie were talking with each other about the church on the front most pew of the back portion towards the east-facing door. But because they were NOT praying both Maw and Paw sat five pews behind us.
Normally, we three would sit directly behind that pew, a second row. I knelt in my usual place and Josie inquired of me if I left them at home.
Then she saw that my bio-units did not kneel down in their place and Josie started scolding from accusing of saying bad words or using her mouth to boss everyone around. Each time, Maw would rebuff Josie, the 80 year-old woman. Her birthday fell on Our Lady of Lourdes on 02/11/2010.
After a few more minutes wise words from Maw, Josie was comforted and put back in her place. She turned to me and said that she will zip her mouth from now on and stop using bad words with other parishioners.
You see she still grieves after her husband (a cousin, really) has passed on about two or three years ago. And Maw told Josie that her husband cannot move on into heaven if she continues to grieve. Hopefully, the VERY anxious and medically depressed old woman will have learned to overcome emotional state.
In another similar incident in which people have hit the deep end:
`You hurt my mother’s feelings! You are supposed to sit with my mother! Now we are offended!`
~First paternal cousin `Shill` (12/15/2007 during a Lola’s 97th birthday party)
You see my cousin `Shill` has been a nutter since 18 years old, the time during which her parents divorced. Her blackouts during showers and other behavioral problems with her relatives have been noted. I could forgive but cannot forget.
Bottomline: Avoid these people as much as possible. They have been through much STRESS in their lives and are lost souls due to SEVERE mental and emotional problems. They tend to project their anxiety on other unsuspecting victims and MUST take their medications to avoid hurting other people. Verbally they cannot control themselves.
