To Remember a Loved One

No silly Friday Confessions this week.  

Drove last night with tired eyes. And this morning we will spend with family.  We came from all over, offering love and support to those who need it.  Holding each other up.  Remembering someone who had a beautiful soul and was taken from us much too soon.  My dear Aunt Sheila’s life was cut short by a dreadful fight with cancer and it sucks and it’s not fair and it’s too sad.  Life and death and all the in betweens can be overwhelming to navigate through sometimes. 

I’m glad she’s not suffering any more.  I’m glad for the recent memories we shared. I’m glad the family can be together.  I know we will laugh and cry. Laughing is what we do best. But I wish getting together was for another wedding or something, anything other than this.

Send a little prayer up for the ones who must now carry on without her.

Love and miss you Aunt Sheila.
