Well, I just received a phone call that I have been dreading for a couple of weeks. One of my aunts passed. It was just a few weeks ago, we learned that had cancer of the kidneys and a couple of other spots as well. She had been having problems with Alzheimer's and she was older; she was 78 but in my eyes, she was still a young, beautiful woman who was filled with so much love for everyone she met. I spent so much time with her as a child and throughout my teenage years and even throughout my 20's. She was one of my all time favorites! A few years back, there was drama in the family and I stayed away for I knew she had enough on her plate and I knew it was best to just let some things settle. Well, too much time passed, her and my uncle got a little older and ended up with more health problems than they could handle. So, their daughter moved them in with her and her husband, sold their house and started truly taking care of them under her own roof. Unfortunately, in the last few years, I have not been to see them for one reason or the other but have stayed in touch closely through the one aunt I have that is like my mother and through their granddaughter, my cousin, who is like a sister to me.
Well, I knew the day was coming. Unfortunately, it was just a few minutes ago. My aunt called and told me she passed at 4:30 this morning. On top of everything that I have going on in my life, this is certainly not one I want to deal with right now...then again, who would?!!!
She was fortunately not in any pain, believe it or not but I, at least know she is in a better place and she can be reunited with her daughter who passed when she was 49 (from a brain aneurism).
Okay, that's all for now. :(
