I will not be on much in the next couple of days. Just found out that my Aunt passed away yesterday morning, after a long battle with Cancer. She defied doctors diagnosis for years. At the beginning they told her she had six months to live and that was in 1988.
The strange thing is that we just started emailing each other recently. We talked for the longest time and reminisced about my mom (her sister). About how she taught my mom to walk. She was the second oldest child in the family. My Grandfather, who lives some distance away, cannot attend the funeral. He is 98 years old and his health is not too good. He and I just had a long talk... longest we had in a long while.
I dont know what my other Aunt is thinking or feel that I want to call her. She is JW still and I dont think I can handle the bullshit right now.
Anyway... sadness is prevailing in my soul right now.
I'm sorry to hear you're having to deal with a loss in your family. It's hard to see the older generation pass on. Most of my aunts and uncles are gone now and my mom is in her 80's, so I know a little of what you are going through. I must say though, your Aunt sounded like one tough cookie to be diagnoised in 1988 with cancer and only 6 months to live. Wow, a grandfather that's 98...that's something. Your other aunt might love to hear from you, as I sometimes find the older generations look to us, one level below for strength.
My thoughts are with you....again, I'm sorry for your sorrow today.

Xandria,
So sorry for your loss. My aunts are all fading fast too. I would call your JW aunt. Usually in a time of crisis they will let their guard down a little and ease off the preaching stuff. You can always cut it short if she goes there. See what happens....it might work out for the best.
So sorry for the lose of your aunt, Xandria. I am glad you two had the time to talk. I am sure you gave her a peaceful feeling. I bet, it gave her so much happiness to talk about the past. I hear that many who are fighting illness, towards the end, love to talk about the past, to know that they had many great things in their lives. What a privledge you had to share with her , in her last days , the joys of her life. I sure do hope there is a heaven, it would make losing loved ones so much easier. I really want to believe they are in heaven and are having the pure happiness they deserve.
Many warm hugs to you dear heart......(((((((((( Xandria))))))))))))))
