My Aunt Jane is dying. She has lung/liver cancer and she doesn't have much time left. Dan and I were able to go out and visit her (thank you Mom for watching the kids) last weekend and it was such a gift. She could talk to us, ate at the table for lunch, and asked Dan to do her funeral. It's so hard. I am not ready to say goodbye. I am going to miss her....she has been an important part of my life and loved life so much. She loved the outdoors and hiking/camping. She loved her kids and she loved her grand kids. She organized family events and had great ideas for how we could bond and do more things together. She was part of the glue that has held our extended family together. I don't have much else to say. It is just a hard and sad time.
This is the last family get together that we had where we didn't know she was sick yet. This is how I will remember her. Loving the lake and all it has to offer.
She got Svea over her fear of the water by tossing her a rock back and forth and slowly inching her to come deeper. Dan wasn't able to be there then so I couldn't play with her in the water, but had to chase Kieran. She made she had a good experience.
Happy!
It still doesn't feel real and I wish it weren't true. I'm so glad we have happy times to think back on and remember her by.
