My Aunt died Saturday night. She had MS and caught pneumonia and she never recovered from it. She died in her daughter’s arms.
I am really wrecked. Not just because I am sad to lose her but because I can’t be with my family. Her funeral is tomorrow in Boston and there is just no way, in time or money, I can afford to go.
This is the mother of the cousin who came to visit this past summer. We are very close. And I can’t even imagine how much she’s hurting right now. And I want to be there. And I can’t be.
So the weekend sucked. I’m exhausted. And taking the day off work.
Ah, sweetie. The curse of living far from your family. Big hugs.
