Last week my great-aunt passed away. She was only 60, but she had been having some complications with her new kidney. She went in to hospital for a checkup I think. Or maybe it was for dialysis. Anyways, while she was there her heart just stopped. It got me thinking about a lot of things. She was very young to die. It made me put my life into perspective. I thought of all of the things that I want to accomplish before I pass away and how many things I want to see and do. We never know when our time will come so we need to live each day as it were our last. I loved my great-aunt dearly. Every time I saw her she greeted me with a huge hug and a warm smile. She was always giving of herself, even when she had nothing. From her I learned many things, mainly how to give with my whole heart. Each day we need to realize what we have and how lucky we really are to just be alive. No matter what happens daily, whatever makes us stressed out, really it isn't all that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things. Don't worry and always be happy. My great-aunt had a pretty rough life, and it makes me very grateful for the wonderful life I have. I am going to miss her, but I know that she is in a better place and that she is no longer suffering. She will always be near to my heart!
