Good bye. God speed. I hope you land in a place that is what you thought it would be like ( where Jesus is an Anglo, etc.).
On a personal note, my Aunt Bea died Monday. My sis and I went to the nursing home where my mom was shell-shocked because of her death.
I guess the best thing was that I brought some Lavender oil, mixed it with water, and wiped her face, hands, arms...and my sis read some inspirational poems. I read some from the Sermon on the Mount.
It's been a hectic week.
Aunt Bea was her own person. She had one son. Boys in our family are totally doted upon. So, her son, I hope, felt doted upon.
I have a lot of thoughts, but do not feel all that safe posting them here.

I'm sorry for your loss, Shar. I think the lavendar oil was lovely.
I'm sorry you don't feel comfortable sharing your thoughts here. I'd be happy to lend an ear, if you'd like one. My Babblemail is on.

Actually, better than expected. A lot of animosity between my mother (my aunt's sister) and my aunt's son. But, he did the good thing, and at the very, very end came to her and said, you took good care of her.
There are a lot of horrific details I won't bother to share. But, with my mom being 82, I was always the one who went to the lawyer with her (for guardianship of the person vs. estate).
Anyhow, I was not really that close to my aunt. My sis lived with her and my uncle for a year or so after my dad died. (I still don't know why mom felt she had to farm us out...sis in Dallas, me in San Antonio.) It was just all bad for me, but my uncle used to give sis money, permissions, etc. that I didn't get because I was dealing with my half-crazed mother.
Oh well, I guess life happens.
thanks for your well wishes. My aunt's death was a blessing. And, interestingly enough, happened about 2 days after we requested Hospice services.
oh well. Everyone behaved themselves, which, in my family is something of a miracle in itself. Us eye-ties are much more prone to throwing ourselves onto caskets, weeping quite loudly!
Thanks, Shar
