2003-10-30 - Aunt Jeannine


My aunt died this morning.

On Monday she was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. She'd beaten cancer before but it came back. With a vengeance. I was supposed to go visit her this afternoon so I didn't get to say goodbye. She was in a lot of pain last night so it was for the best and I know she knows I was thinking of her.

"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened."

The part that makes me SO angry is that she is the only aunt that I even gave two hoots about (her, along with my uncle, her hubby). All of my other aunts and uncles are pricks/losers who I want nothing to do with. Alcoholics, druggies, jerks. Sure, every family has them, but why did the one good one have to go and not the others. And yes, I AM saying that I would take any of my other aunts and uncles and make them trade spaces with her in a second.

It's just not fair. Their times will come, but not soon enough.

I'll miss you Aunt Jeannine.
