I'm not going to lie. It was a rough weekend. It's been a rough couple of months but this past week was an even more intense emotional rollercoaster.
In addition to all of those that have passed recently that I have already mentioned in previous posts - my Aunt Carol passed away. As hard as we were trying to prepare ourselves for her passing - it didn't make it any easier. She was one of the most loving, caring, patient people I have ever known. She was full of faith. I said on IG over the weekend that she was always an angel - now she has her wings. Thursday afternoon is the viewing and Friday is the funeral so I will be traveling to Buffalo with my parents and sister for a couple of days to spend time with family. Eventho we are apart I have always adored my cousins, aunts, and uncles. It's going to be hard. Cancer Sucks.
I found out the morning after she passed and later that day my husband and I received word that his co-worker also passed. He was in the hospital recooping from hernia surgery and ended up having a heart attack. He made it thru heart surgery, however, is organs started to shut down and he didn't make it. It was a shock to us all. My husband had just talked to him 2 days before and he sounded great.
This past weekend was also the 14th Anniversary of my friend Steph's passing. I can't believe it's been 14 years. Between Steph and my other friend Sarah - I wouldn't have been able to get thru college without them. Steph memory lives on at her church and also our regional Audubon where there is an educational pavilion that's been dedicated in her name.
May those we lost rest in peace and never be forgotten.
