Greetings "Blog-O-Sphere"! I've had a lot of thoughts in my head since before I can remember, so I am going to try to use this as a way to get them out and into the world. I have been told my entire life that I am very smart, and have found that to be true in my adult and professional life. I am just kind of rambling right now, so please bear with me.
My mother's only sibling, her younger sister, Susan, died around 10:30 this morning. She has been very ill for the past several years; going in and out of the hospital for the past 2. She was single for most of my life, so she spoiled my older brother and me when we were growing up. My parents both had middle class jobs, so there wasn't a lot of disposable income after the bills were paid, so most of the "cool toys" we had came from Aunt Sue. She would always take us on trips, some for the day or weekend, some for a week or more, to places varying from the mall or the beach, to Washington, DC, and Lancaster, PA. I loved her very deeply, and truly owe her much of my happiness as a child. As she has been in failing health, it has been very painful to visit since I returned home at the end of July. I should have visited more, and for that I will be sorry and ashamed for the rest of my life. I am saddened at her loss, but also relieved for the end of her suffering. I am happy that she finally found peace, and hopefully, wherever she is right now, she is surrounded by loved ones that departed this earthly plane before her.
It's getting late here, so I will wrap this up. If anybody actually sees this, my only advice is spend time with the ones you love, because you never know how much time you actually have them for. Goodnight, readers, and perhaps you'll hear from me soon.
