Life and death

April started what seemed to be chain reaction of deaths in my family.

In April my Aunt Pudge, who taught me Belmont by going to yard sales every weekend as a child, lost her battle with cancer.

In May my great Aunt Theresa and great Aunt Millie both passed in their sleep. Both were well into their 90s.

Then totally unexpected my cousin Jim passed away at the beginning of June - one day after his daughters 17th birthday. Unfortunately she is the one who found him.

With so many deaths in the family, it makes you stop and think how quickly people enter and leave our lives. Some are expected and others aren't.

Guess what??? I think we have several things in common. I know how & what you are feeling on all of this. I was going thru this also - but all I got was crap..... Sometimes our emotions are there and then someone special dies... did you have to present a obituary to spend your vacation time?? You need to be a friend in order to have friends, you have a lot to learn!!

Kind of strange your comments but you are entitled to yours like I am entitled to mine.

I have never requested a copy of an obituary from anyone to use vacation or sick time. I trust people to be honest especially in sensitive situations like this.
