There is something to be gained for all involved in you becoming more interacting with you Aunt. It relieves some of 'burden', (not being said with any negative intent) from your grand parents in 'caring', (meeting her physical, and psychological needs), for her. You are filling some of the need for companionship that you said she is not getting from her 'past' relationships. You are opening many doors of opportunities for your self on different levels. Over all, it goes with how your life has been going anyway, where you go from one situation for a time, to new situations for a while. This is just another door to another world for you to explore and add to your life's resume.
There is also something else you may not have considered: You can open up an area of her life that she does not need her body to thrive in, if she would wish to and let you be her helper in it. Her body is limited in what it can do, but her mind is not so limited. Either let her join you on your Live Journal to post her many, many things she feels compelled to talk about or review from the past, or start an account for her. 'A journal of her life' perhaps that can outlive her, her views on the world she has lived in both before and after her accident. Maybe her thoughts and feelings about her marital relationship before and after her accident and the things she has learned from what life has put on her dish. There is a whole world of thoughts she can post and/or create with out needing her body to do it with, with your help.I don't think you could get to be closer with her than that.
She has experienced the world in ways you may, and in some ways hopefully never will, never experience it. Insights to life that only a person in her situation can know. You will on occasion encounter other people with disabilities such as hers and more, and it will allow you to have a better understanding of them than the general population that just says 'hi' and then goes on about their way. It would be part of an answer to one of your recent prayers.
Ok, I feel I may have finally did what I have been trying to do for a few days now, :) ! I will stop now so I don't overload you in the mind_feild, :) ! ( By the way, your 'good person' is shining through, :) )
