While mourning her brother’s passing, our storyteller finds herself at odds with her estranged sister, who seems more concerned with her priorities than honoring their late sibling. From arguing over the obituary to complaining about the cost of the memorial dinner, the sister’s behavior becomes too much to bear. In a moment of frustration, our heroine throws a $100 bill at her sister and storms out of the dinner. Although she later apologizes to her family, her sister continues to demand an apology and threatens to cut off contact with her nieces and nephews.
