My aunt died today. It was not unexpected. She had cancer for a long time. We thought she had beat it, but it came back. I know what people will say. It's better this way, she's not suffering anymore, she's in a better place. It's all crap. Yes, it's true she had cancer and it's true she was in pain. It's also true that she FOUGHT it. She wanted to LIVE. She wanted to grow old with her husband. She wanted to watch her gradson grow up. She wanted to see her children achieve everything they wanted in life. It's easier for US now. We don't have to see her pain. We don't have to watch her suffering anymore. We don't have to watch that beautiful caring woman waste away. I don't know if she's in a better place or not. I do know that THIS place is a little worse without her.
