Being the daughter of immigrants, I remember those middle of the night phone calls from Europe when someone took sick, and then the agonizing decision making that had to take place about when and if to go. I'm sure your Aunt knew how much she meant to you. These things are always a reminder on how important it is to life fully and seize the day.

Funerals always make me sad because everyone comes together for such a sad occasion, however, it seems like you had quite the party at Christmas. Gotta love Auntie Anna and her coordinating socks.<br /><br />Besos, SarahJourneys of The Zoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06983303004148331623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262159678269171105.post-29602060660023486532014-03-10T20:50:22.184-04:002014-03-10T20:50:22.184-04:00Sandy thanks so much for reading the post and comm...Sandy thanks so much for reading the post and commenting.

She has been my rock for so many years, and has helped me so much, I don't know what I will do without her. I could see so many similarities in your story, some made me laugh, and some made me tear up. I am so very sorry for your loss. Your aunt sounds like she was one amazing lady. You have provided some great advice for the rest of us and I live that weekly. I make sure to visit my aunt and parents each week, with very few exceptions. You just never know when you won't get that chance again. She may not have seen your post, but you can be sure she'd be smiling from ear-to-ear with pride if she did read it.

I truly felt through your post how great your Aunt was and how you felt for her. She also comes across to me as a very smart person right up to the end, which tells me she knows what you thought and how you felt about her. I do give you the sympathy from our family in your time of loss. It las most seems though that she would much rather a celebration of the life she lived to carry her memory forward...Matthew Tullyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07246840593922531519noreply@blogger.com
