Feeling... Down? Disappointed?

I'm a bit emotional right now (which I'm sure 85% of it is hormones) because my family, that lives 450 miles away is having a 4th of July celebration. I was invited but, because of money issues, won't be able to make the trip down to Kentucky. However, I get on Facebook to find out that my mothers best friend, my aunt since I can remember, is packed and ready to go and she lives not even 20 miles from me. My place is on her way out! I'm kind of discouraged because had my mom mentioned it, I may have been able to have her talk to my aunt and see if I could maybe pitch in on gas or whatever... And just ride with her. Granted, I don't know how long he is going to be down there... But it hurts because I text my mom today and told her the situation... And she didn't even mention it. So now, I'm left feeling all kinds of sad emotions because I really wanted to be there to see my family. I haven't seen them since I moved up here last December and I miss them. 😞😢
