So last week ( Wednesday) I had another funeral. This time it was a member of my family. I lost my Aunt Debbie. She passed very unexpectedly and a day before her 72 birthday. She leaves behind my 3 cousins and their kids as well as her husband. I have so so many fun and awesome memories with her. Growing up she was my favorite aunt because I spent a lot of time at her house. My cousin is only 10 months younger than me so we pretty much grew up together. Unfortunately over the years, we didn’t see eye to eye on so many things and we were estranged. I can tell you that it’s a very weird and strange feeling to lose someone that you once were So close to and then not. I grieve and miss the aunt I had with the fond memories I have. I hurt for my cousins that lost their mom. My cousins daughters were very very close to their grandmother and my heart goes out to them . I am at 3 funerals this year and still only in February.
The only good part of funerals is seeing your family and one of my cousins lives in London. He just flew home today but obviously we don’t get to see him often and I love every minute I can spend with him. I got to have dinner with him and family last night and I’ll take what I can get.
Friday is Valentines so of course i'm not looking forward to that AT ALL!! Still going thru many "firsts" as a divorced woman. Joy to the World!!
