When two individuals maintain their limits, conflict may arise. In today’s tale, a woman defied her obstinate sister by refusing to back down. She had a valid cause, too: she was getting married.
The pair decided to get married in the autumn.
My fiancé and I will wed in October of this year. We are ecstatic about our January engagement. We are only inviting close family and friends to the intimate wedding.
My sister Lisa is the source of the issue. Lisa and her spouse are parents to a 2-year-old kid. I can’t put all the reasons why I don’t have a really loving connection with Lisa into this post.
The wedding invites were sent out last month. We asked our guests to please attend at the site by 1:00 p.m. as our wedding ceremony is scheduled to begin at 1:30 p.m. Since the event will be held near our hometown, Lisa and most of the other guests will be able to easily get there.
Lisa informed me that her 2-year-old’s nap schedule meant the timing “wouldn’t work.” She explained that he naps at twelve and that she is not pressuring him to stay awake so she can prepare him for the occasion, otherwise he will be a nightmare. Despite the fact that I am childless, I felt this was an absurd excuse.
Lisa told me she couldn’t get a babysitter because all of her trusted people would be attending the wedding when I asked. She claimed she wouldn’t be able to make the wedding, so I proposed that they at least go to the reception.
She informed me that if the time isn’t changed, she won’t be at the wedding. I informed her that was not possible. Lisa declared she wouldn’t be going then. This pained me a great deal. I immediately ended the conversation with an excuse because I wasn’t sure how to respond at the time.
Lisa asked me what I thought of her suggestion a few days later. I reminded her that we are unable to alter the time. She said she hopes I’m glad they’re not coming and that everyone will wonder why she’s not there, and that it’s all because I can’t bring my nephew. The world doesn’t revolve around her and her son, I informed her angrily. She blocked me after calling me a bridezilla.
I simply don’t think I’m at fault, despite my mother’s persistent demands that I make apologies with Lisa.
John Amos, best known as the father on “Good Times” and a star of “Roots,” has passed away at the age of 84.
John Amos, the talented television actor recognized for his performances in The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Good Times, The West Wing, and Roots, has passed away at the age of 84.
His family shared that Amos died of natural causes in his Los Angeles home on August 21, but the announcement was only made public today.
“With deep sadness, I announce that my father has transitioned,” his son, Kelly Christopher Amos, said in a statement to Deadline. “He was a man with an incredibly kind heart and a golden spirit… loved by people everywhere. Many fans regarded him as their TV father.”
Born on December 27, 1939, in Newark, New Jersey, Amos initially pursued a career in football, playing in the Continental Football League and the Atlantic Coast Football League. He was signed by the Denver Broncos in 1964 but was released before the season due to an injury.
His acting career, however, proved more successful. He gained recognition as weatherman Gordy Howard on the popular sitcom The Mary Tyler Moore Show, a role he held from 1970 to 1973.
Amos is best remembered for his portrayal of James Evans, the father in the classic sitcom Good Times. At just 34 years old when he was cast, he convincingly depicted a hardworking father of three living in a low-income housing project.
The show was lauded for its exploration of significant issues like poverty and racism. However, as the series progressed, Amos had disagreements with the writers and producers regarding the portrayal of Black families and the show’s shift toward broader comedic themes. After season 3, he was let go, and his character met his end in a car accident.
Shortly thereafter, Amos took on another defining role as the adult Kunta Kinte in the groundbreaking miniseries Roots, for which he received an Emmy nomination.
He is also known for his role as Admiral Percy Fitzwallace, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, in the political drama The West Wing. Additionally, he had recurring roles in Two and a Half Men and The Ranch.
Among his notable film credits are Sweet Sweetback’s Baadasssss Song, Die Hard 2, Coming to America, and its sequel.
“He led a fulfilling life, and his legacy will endure through his remarkable contributions to television and film,” his son expressed in the statement. “My father cherished his work as an actor throughout his life.”
“He was my father, my closest friend, and my hero. I appreciate your prayers and support during this difficult time.”
