memoir

she will never get to see her kids get married and start a family or spoil her grandkids. my aunt. early 50s. cancer. at the hospital, on a respirator. swollen body. dull, lifeless color. panting for life.

i've never been close with her and my cousins, but just seeing her today really hit me...hard. couldn't stop the tears. not knowing if she could hear me, "i will pray for you" was the only thing that came out. "stay strong" to my cousin. no one should have to go through something like this. life is too short. death can be so cruel and it knows no boundaries.
