LIFE

You know I feel kind of silly for ranting about money yesterday when there are people out there dealing with things much greater. My Uncle Harry, from the island, passed away a couple days ago from a blood disease. I can only imaging what his family is going through. His wife, my mom's sister, Gladys lost her husband, the love of her life. His children lost their father. It is just so sad. It sure gets you thinking about your life and the people in it.

It also reminds me of what everyone went through when Baba passed away. The waiting and hoping she would pass quickly and pain-free. I think about her everyday. Her sayings and her laugh. How I used to walk quite often to her apartment from school to go for lunch. I wish she could have seen the girls. I know my mom misses her very much.

I think of grandpa. How he used to tell stories of when he was young and when dad, uncle Allan, and uncle Neil were young. I think of how I should have paid more attention to those stories.

So I am hoping auntie Gladys, Bonnie, Patty, Chris and Terry are doing okay. The memorial is Wednesday. I am hoping mom and dad go and see them this summer and catch up. I am sure auntie would love that.
