Life is full of unexpected twists and turns. Some are good, some are bad, and some others are such a life-altering experience that they change whom you are fundamentally. My aunt Terry passed away just a few days ago; and I still have not been able to properly mourn or accept that my father’s side of the family are all gone. My father, his mother shortly afterwards, and now his sister. I’m sorry I didn’t converse with you as much the past year or two, but I do hope that where you are now allows you to experience a peace you had not felt in quite some time. I hope that you are in a place filled with peace and with as many cats that you can possibly feed and care for. I hope that grandma, and my father are both there with you, and are as equally filled with the joy that you had given to us all these years. Our sorrow will ease with time, but the emptiness felt in our hearts will never be filled until we are all united once again. I love you, and I wanted you to know that your presence on this earth mattered. You were an angel on a planet filled with too many selfish people. Your giving heart was unparalleled, and your thoughtfulness was beyond compare. You will be missed Aunt Terry. I will never forget you.
