Feren's law number 23:

[feren]

Nobody should be in a supermarket when they find out their aunt has passed of cancer that went undiagnosed until two days previous -- this especially should not happen to a cancer survivor.

More frustrating yet is my family is actively discouraging my use of leave from work to fly to Texas for the service.

It's such a fine line

doomsey and I both agree that your family is wrong. I wouldn't say it this way, but doomsey says that, if you want to go, than they have no right to tell you that you shouldn't.

Honestly, I think you should go for the sake of your aunt's family. I'm sure they would appreciate the support. By the way, what part of Texas is your aunt from?
