I send thoughts and prayers to your family. On a selfish note, as a survivor of cancer, IF and a few miscarriages, I hope one day, my niece(s) or nephew(s) can speak as highly as you do of your aunt. I think it's easy to think no one will miss us if we don't become parents, and it's nice to know you cared for her like you did. kateanonhttp://www.kateanon.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1889860626088154355.post-8569603565302394512014-02-19T21:28:36.882-05:002014-02-19T21:28:36.882-05:00What a full life she lived.

She sounds like a wonderful and inspiring person. <br /><br />In a way, it was good that this was sudden. My dad's eldest sister died a few months ago, and she had basically become a shadow of her former self for, I think, the last 5 years of her life. Diabetes, the slow killer. It is so hard, and I get to choose, I would want to go from 60 to 0, and not 60 to 5 to 0. <br /><br />Thinking of you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15553205805046479504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1889860626088154355.post-24591553369722264082014-02-14T14:38:55.976-05:002014-02-14T14:38:55.976-05:00Since your post several weeks ago, filled with onl...Since your post several weeks ago, filled with only bits of information, you have been in my thoughts daily. You really described her life so beautifully. You were both so lucky to have each other. I'm so sorry that you have lost your aunt. I am in disbelief that this all happened so fast. If you ever need to talk or chat, you know where to reach me. I'm so sorry for your loss.

My family members did that with my grandma but I don't have it in me, at least not yet. Maybe one day if I'm in that situation I'll be as strong as you to stand by a loved one during their final moments. I'll be thinking of you.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16875307109685150842noreply@blogger.com
