Seeking Cousin AG....

Playing detective today trying to track down my elderly cousin AG who lives out of the area, seems in the month since I last talked to her she sold her house and changed her telephone number. Found his number on the 'net and called her nephew R who I never met but through the years heard a lot about from AG. When I called a man answered the phone, I asked "May I speak to R" he replied "he's not here right now, if you leave your number I'll have him call back" I told him I don't even know if I have the right R, do you know if he is AG's nephew...then he said yes that was him! I know, strange behavior seems to run deep in our family...lol Anyhow, AG is in a senior care apartment, he gave me the number to the complex, when I called they said "Yes AG was a resident, and no I can not talk to her" I guess it is their policy or her's, I don't know which, to give a message to the person and if they want they can call back. R said AG and his mom had a falling out about 3 months ago and haven't spoken to each other since. These women are in their 80's and known each other nearly all their lives. Sad when people get to their golden years that they still fight and bicker. I would have thought with age comes wisdom, a sort of 'turn the other cheek' attitude ...guess I am wrong again. Several hours later AG phoned me. "How did you find me?" was her first question. I told her about calling her nephew. "No, you didn't call HIM" she said."How did HE know where I was, I didn't tell anyone where I was going" I told I didn't know how he knew but he knew and he was very nice to me over the phone. "That family is a bunch of snoops" she informed me "they want to know everyone's business...his mother is a evil person, I never want to talk to her again" Then cousin A started crying and I felt helpless...but I do have her private phone number and address. It all just didn't turn out as planned.
