Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : My uncle took me in when my dad left (he got on drugs) he helped raise me with my mom and his wife. I was really close to my uncle, he was retired when i was born, but gave up travelling to help raise me.  I thought of him as my father and he told me he thought of me as his daughter.

 At his funeral the other day, I spoke about him and how he made me feel safe and all of his kids. Telling the story about when one of his children passing and the reaction they gave when he spoke to them. I, also, spoke about how much he loved his wife, she was his world the reason he loved living. his kids (but one) and his wife agreed and cried with what I said. All the guests came over and said that they could tell everything, I said was from the heart. 

I said "we each have our own relationships, my experience with him was different than yours", my cousin (not his child lived out of state visited him maybe once every few years) saying pursing her lips saying that "Everyone loved him" extremely rudely and walking away. I never said once that people didn't love him, he was an amazingly lovably person.

I feel like she was attacking my relationship with him. She has two parents that never abandoned her and are still actively in her life. I was a daddy's girl until one day my dad left and never came back so my uncle told me, he'd step in as my dad for the rest of his life. 

As he got older and the dementia, I became his caregiver. I barely went out with anyone to spend more time with him. I'm getting a Ph. D so I had somewhat flexible schedule. My university was a 2 hour drive each direction so I was doing 3 days at school and 4 days with him every week.  I took him to every doctors appointment, spent the nights with him in the hospital, made sure he knew he was loved, cleaned him, and so much more. He had days where he'd ask me " Where's my family?" he knew he had a large family with lots of kids and his wife was extremely sick so she couldn't visit him often.
