Tomorrow we bury my Aunt Judy. Don't be too sad.. I'm sad she's gone in a way. She was suffering very badly from cancer, and it's better she's gone. We went to see her a week ago Saturday. She was at home with hospice care. It was so sad. There was the bright vibrant woman who was so wonderfully giving and loving, trapped in this body that didn't want to work anymore. She was so eaten with the cancer she couldn't do anything for herself anymore, and even a trip to the bathroom was a 30 minute production. Yet her mind was still so sharp. She died Thursday afternoon. By time we got to their house, there was no sign that there had been a sick person there. Uncle Johnny seems to be doing okay, but Nick said he really wished his dad would just cry about it. If you knew Johnny, you'd know that he really doesn't share. Judy had already been going thru it for like 6 months before they told anyone, and i think the only reason they finally did was because she was starting to lose her hair. the visitation was tonight. She looked so unreal. Course, they'd put a wig on her. It wasn't her at all. But she's all better now, right? No more pain... I'm gonna miss her alot.
