Life.

Cancer took my aunt tonight at 8:48 p.m. She'd been in hospice two days. Six weeks ago she was in remission. She was only thirteen years older than me--the same age spread between me and my little sister--and one of my favorite pictures from my childhood was me as a tiny baby being cuddled in her arms.

I hope my dad gave her a huge hug in heaven tonight. He always loved her so damn much.

I miss you, Shirley. Make my dad laugh for me, will you?
