I Am Sad

My aunt was killed this past week as she was walking along the street. She was running errands and had just talked to my grandmother on the phone about ten minutes before it happened. The man who hit her with his car said he didn't see her. He called 911 and stayed with her until help came. She has one grandson and two daughters (my cousins). I spent Saturday helping my mom and grandmother prepare for the trip to California for the funeral. I was exhausted but it felt good to spend that time with my mom and grandma during such a stressful time. We were all sad but we were alive and together. I didn't get to go with them to the funeral, I could not take off of work and it's far away. I feel so sad for all of us. We weren't close but we were family and when we did see each other it was fun. She was really fun and always smiling. I feel so sad for my cousins. I am so happy my parents are still living. As they get older, as I get older, I appreciate having them in my life more each day. My daughters both express fear of losing me. We really don't feel like celebrating the holidays but we are muddling through.

I feel this need to reach out to my family even more. I was planning a trip to see some of them this summer. I reconnected with my cousins recently. They both live in Denver and my daughter just moved there this year. We are all pulling together during this time. I hope the momentum continues and we become closer.

Oh that is awful news and on top of it so close to Christmas. I wish to you strength during this difficult time.
