Not what I wanted to talk about

When I planned on making this post, it was gonna be about how slow work was last night, upcoming plans for the weekend and how much I an looking forward to MFM. Instead momentarily, ago it took a turn for the worse.

For many years, I lived with my Grandmother and my Aunt here in town. I was young and foolish and surely took advantage of my situation, but all was good. 2+ years ago, my grandmother passed and today my Aunt Evelynn passed away as well, just days after her 83 birthday. I spoke to her only days ago and she sounded fine, but yesterday she was admitted to the hospital with probable kidney failure and passed away last night. I'm only glad that it was quick and that she did not suffer.

She was deeply religious, travelling to Trinidad several times to donate food and clothes to the poor as well as helping people in despair on the phone. Although she may not have had much, she was always willing to share with other people. Mainly housebound for the last several years, she always enjoyed the stories of the various place I'd travelled to.

I think I'm going to go to bed shortly and hopefully I'll feel better when I get up later.
