Aunt Gone

My aunt died today at 9am from a massive heartattack.
I guess the nurses were right.

My dad's really quiet. He was the closest sibling to her. Long before I was born, my aunt got divorced and had to leave her kids to go work. Her 3 daughters lived with my dad and he took care of them. cooked and took them to school, braided there hair.
She never forgot what he did for her and her kids.My cousins (all of them quite a bit older than me) never forget either.

I'm glad I wasn't there the day before she died. She had stopped eating and talking and she was breathing shallowly by that time.

I'm going to the wake tonight.
