I Refused to Cancel My Birthday Despite a Family Tragedy

My sister’s teenage daughter passed away unexpectedly two days before my 40th birthday. She asked me to cancel my big party, but I said, “I’m sorry, but I already sent the invites and spent a lot of money!” She was furious.

During the party, I went to check on my baby and realized she wasn’t there. I froze in shock when I found a note with just two words: “Sorry now?” Panicked, I began searching for my baby everywhere, crying as the party fell apart. Finally, I saw my sister standing in the corner of the garden, holding my baby. When she noticed me, she smiled. She looked on the verge of a nervous breakdown, but I could also see fear and hatred in her eyes.

In front of all the guests, she told me I was a terrible sister and didn’t deserve her or her family. Then, she placed my baby on the grass and left, telling me never to contact her again. I still stand by my decision. Canceling my milestone birthday party, especially after spending so much money, didn’t make sense to me.
