my aunt passed away today
#2 years ago she found out she had cervical cancer and it was pretty bad#spread to the surrounding tissue#she was so scared#she stopped talking to people slowly#and eventually stopped hanging out with her friends#only had her man to help out and bless him he was so good to her#he did everything for her and took time off of work for her#i always had strange feelings about him because when they met he was with his ex wife and ended up leaving her for my aunt#but then he was so good to my aunt and generally seemed like a really nice man#he was her only thing holding her sanity down#she lives in serbia#we live down here#she would viist us every summer#she couldn't last year#so we visited her in august#when we went over she said she had not left her apartment in 2 months besides going to the hospital#at that point her kidneys had started shutting down and he had to have a catethers in#we went to a restaurant with her#i remember not talking much to her and she didn't engage with me#she was just glad to be talking to my mom#because they're cousins but they were raised like they were sisters#and she cried so much while we were there#she said she was happy to see us#but that it felt like we were only there to see her one last time#we told her so many times how we were planning on seeing her the next summer back down in my granpas garden with us#how we're just stopping by because we missed her and not as a goodbye#she talked about how she was so scared of dying but suicide seemed like her only way out#the cancer was inoperable#chemo and radiation did nothing beside fry her body#she was miserable
