I'm so sorry, honey. *Hugs tight.* Don't beat yourself up over it. It's not easy to find time and energy to drive way out of your way to go familiarize yourself with a family member you don't know well. It's not like you were shunning her. Life just happens, and so does death...as a part of life. Be happy for her life, and don't spend yours feeling guilty over circumstance.
Dude, November last year my Mother died. Luckily I came back from Colorado and got a chance to hang out with her for her last couple of years. I got to fully appreciate the saint she really was. But you know something... there is still a hole in my life... and there are still things that I wish I would have said, things I wish I would have done... that is the nature of life and our relationships with people... we never really appreciate them until they are gone. But hopefully after we lose one person and go through that we learn to appreciate deeper the people that we have the priviledge to know in each and every moment of our life. Say it now, you may not get a chance to later.
