my aunt is dying

[dokijack]

She's sick, apparently it's cancer. She doesn't have a lot of time left. We weren't close, I only met her once in my life, and she's only spoken to my mom once since she got married. But she is my mom's sister and I think she should see her once more while she still can. I've also never seen Trinidad, so I'm probably going to go with. We'll probably go for about a week, spend some time with the family and also get to see the island. It's unfortunate my first time going home since I was born is under such sad circumstances, I wish I could be happier about the trip (if we in fact decide to take it).

I hope Neal and I don't end up like that. I know we don't talk much but I don't think it means there are any ill feelings. I'd like to think our kids will be friends and we'll stay in touch. I'll make it happen.
