Forgive me. I wrote this back in January and never posted it
Tonight I lost my aunt.
Tonight I lost my aunt.
On Christmas Eve my mother’s sister fell at her job and fractured her hip and her thigh. This came less than a week after Dad fell and fractured his arm. She would have been 85 years old in June.
I have been stuck down here in Florida since Dad fell, running first to the hospital and now to the rehab facility (nursing home). Originally Dad and I were supposed to have left this evening. Because the facilities in New York haven’t gotten back to the facility in Daytona we had to change our reservations. The significance with that is I got to deliver the bad news to my mother.
The funeral will probably be next Monday or Tuesday. If it is Monday I have a problem as Dad and I are scheduled to go back Sunday night and arrive in New York Monday. We can’t even change the reservations to the plane because we need to be at the facility on Monday.
Aunt Amy was the oldest. Aunt Carmen and Aunt Clarie passed away two and four years ago respectively and were the 3rd and 4th children.
Right now I am just writing just to be writing. I am sad that my aunt just passed away but relieved to know she won’t be suffering. Sad thinking that I won’t see her again or hear her voice or hear her laugh. She was an energetic lady, especially at 84. She worked until her accident. There are people in their 30s who won’t keep a job. Aunt Amy worked all her life.
May you rest in peace Aunt Amy. I know you are continuing your work with God
