What a mean and ill thought out OP.
Would you have had a go at your Grandmother for posting a memorial notice in the paper about her husband?
Incase you are interested, I post about my mum because I feel it is the only way I can. She killed herself 20years ago next month, I was a teenager. She never saw me become an adult, a mother, a wife, so yes I do get something out ofwriting about her on birthdays Mothers Days and anniversaries (you would hate me even more, she has 3, yes 3 anniversaries of the day she died -is that ok with you? Shrove Tuesday - which changes every year, the day she died and the day we found her)
Most years I put a simple "thinking of you mum" status but last year I put a longer one. I think it was funny yet heartfelt, about if she was here she would be interfering and pissing me off and taking over, it made me smile to remember her like that, it made my family and her friends smile to remember her like that - as a real person and not someone who became a saint just because she died. I also posted how we would eat her infamous fucking awful pasta dish in memory of her - is that ok with you?
I don;t put a notice in the paper (DH still does for his mum even though she died when he was 10 - it his way and I accept that) for one it is soo bloody expensive and I know mum would kick my arse for wasting money doing it also I don;t know anyone who reads the local paper anymore, nor do I have a grave where I can lay flowers. So FB is what I have and is what I will continue to use. And screw anyone who thinks it is attention seeking.
Sorry about the rant (blush)
