Getting Older

The main thing I dislike about getting older is losing loved ones who have
reached the end of their days. I lost one of the nicest people I have ever known
this weekend. She was my Great Aunt, my grandmothers baby sister. This
woman never had a bad word to say about anyone which in my family is
REALLY rare. This lovely lady had twins when she was in her forties. They
were a boy and a girl and as they grew up were beautiful children. She lost
her daughter in the girls teen years to Lukemia. The son battled cancer in his
thirties and finally lost the fight when he was almost forty. If this wasn't enough
to destroy her my Great Aunt then lost her husband to a very sudden death
a couple of years later. This great lady never lost faith and went to church as
much as she could. One would have to envy her the strength she had along with
the faith of the kind that moves mountains. She was a delight to all who knew
her and she will be missed. Rest in peace Aunt Loretta.
