one month ago

So it was a month ago today (well, now yesterday seeing as it's past midnight) that my Aunt Rita passed away. It seems so unreal. Man, I miss her. She was such a vibrate and loving lady whos smile lit up every room she walked in. She loved all of her nieces and nephews so much (she never married or had any children). Cancer started to take her away from us last december. She had a tumor in her pituitary gland. She had surgery to remove it and that's when the doctor's found out it was cancerous. After the surgery she was never the same b/c she suffered some brain damage. That was hard, it was almost as if we had already lost our aunt, then. Now over the past 10 months we've come to know the "new" aunt Rita, the Rita with the same memories, but with less motor skills, a witless tongue, a forgetful mind, a sad smile. Though her death was expected, almost a relief it's still really hard b/c there was the women she once was and the women she had become to mourn.

Aunt Tritey I know you're in heaven with our Saviour but I miss you so much.
