Relative I’ve seen maybe five times in her life and graduation registry

My step brother and I aren’t that close, but friendly. And it was a long hard road.

He has two daughters who are half siblings. I’ve seen them maybe five or six times in their lives. My mom was close. She’s gone.

One is graduating high school early, yay for her. She’s going to the University of Mississippi. Pretty far from home. Pretty expensive for out of state.

So, brother asks for my address, and sends….a fancy photo card with a gift registry QR code.

The professional photos taken to make the card would have paid for the entire registry.

No info on graduation, let alone an invite, and I didn’t expect one.

So, this feels cold and like a gift grab.

It’s cool to disregard this, right?

Resolution: card with comments my mom would want made. Plus a gift card.
