My aunt =(

Well, if you remember from a few months ago, I said how my aunt was diagnosed with lung cancer and she only had a few months left to live. Well, we thought she might make it to the end of this year, but my uncle called my mom last night and told her that my aunt seemed to be on her last leg and would most likely not live more than a day or two. :( I hated sitting through school all day today, because I couldn't stop thinking about what was going on with my aunt, worrying that it had happened and that when I got home from school, my mom was going to be really upset. I finally did get home and my mom told me that my aunt died at about 10:00 this morning. :( It's just so hard to believe that she's really gone. I didn't know her as well as my other aunts and uncles since she lives a lot farther away from them, but I still saw her and talked to her a few times. It's just so strange to think that she's gone and that I'll never see her again. :( It just doesn't seem right, either- she was about the same age as my parents, and that just seems way too young to die. And I feel so awful for my uncle. But my mom told me that he was prepared for this to happen, and that he knows she's much happier and in a much better place now. She's probably with her dad now, who also died of cancer. So please pray for my family. :( My grandma is especially upset about all this. She really hasn't been doing well for the past few months because of what's been going on, and it made her even more sad after my family and I left to go back home after the party, since we cheered her up quite a bit. And now of course, since my aunt is gone, she's probably really not doing well at all. So please pray for her especially. :( We're going back down there to visit her and my grandpa over my fall break, so hopefully that will cheer her up some, plus she's going to stay with my uncle for a little while as well.

I'm really really sorry to hear that, Hannah! *hugs* I guess the good thing is that she's not suffering anymore, but I feel awful for your family. I'll be praying! I know it's so wierd thinking that this person that was always around suddenly isn't anymore. It's like it's not real or it's something that could never happen....I hope you end up being able to visit them over fall break though. hopefully it will cheer them up some =]
love ya
