But thanks for putting things into perspective.
I think it's pretty amazing that she found the time to play in the casino for a while with you and have dinner with you thursday night. How much more of her time could you have expected? Weddings are crazy for mothers- they are expected to arrange everything and entertain everyone, and family members are always needing all kinds of last minute things from them. She probably was hoping you'd be at the reception and be happy for her and her son.
