Aunt Edith's Death

January 21, 2024

2:42pm - Aunt Edith died. I received a message from dad this morning about the death. Wow. It's shocking. Aunt Edith should be okay. She was quite healthy when I last visit her. Ok, mentally unhealthy but that's just it. So for her to be the first to pass away is a bit . . . it still doesn't sink in. I don't feel anything. How unexpectedly. I like aunt Edith. Despite her mental illness I never got the experience of her tantrum like throwing her cups and plates. She do shout a lot but when I come near to deliver food and snacks, aunt Edith would calm down. I even held her a lot and she was quite a charming one. She was the only aunt my parents never said bad and I can remember her vaguely back when we are at abatan. She was the only sweet and kind aunt. And now she is gone. Wow. I feel heavy all the sudden. This is iffing crazy. I regret not visiting her before I left the country. Haha. How true that regret comes after one is gone. 😶😳😣
