No that is sad Sad

Maybe it was a case of everyone thinking someone else would have told you but because everyone thought that no-one actually did?

I'd still be upset but think I'd just need to have a cry to myself and what else can you do? His parents must be devastated and won't be thinking straight at all but I might want to send a card or a note saying I'd only just heard about it and I hoped that it went well. But only because I'd want them to know that's why I wasn't there, but logically I know they won't have noticed. That is a lot of buts!
