My great aunt alma died on Saturday. I knew she was bad off on friday but didn't find out until today. My last memory of her was probably just this last summer at the family reunion near cape cod. Memere hadn't seen her sister in years and was so excited about seeing her again. She came all the way from New Jersey in a cramped car with an overbearing daughter to sit on the phone and cry with her sister who wouldn't come. Aunt Alma wasn't feeling well and didn't want to travel even though her nurse offered to go with her. I think they knew it was their last chance to see each other.
Last night I dreamt that Andrew came back from his grandfather's funeral and we yelled at him for not cleaning up his dishes and told him it wouldn't be a free ride anymore. I avoided eye contact with him the whole dream.
