Y'all, I slept 2 hours last night. I have a funeral today. I am not prepared. My great aunt passed away on Wednesday. Yesterday was hard. Today is going to be harder.
I am seeing my grandparents graves for the first time since my grandfather died in 2010. I didn't see my grandmothers ashes get buried in 2012. She died in 2011, but in the middle of a harsh winter here. Both of them were cremated.
My great aunt was the only one of my grandparents siblings alive. She's the last of a generation. I literally talked to her less than a month ago. It was so quick and unexpected for her to go like she did.
I lost the lady who should have been my godmother last February. She was very special to me. She would always go check on my grandparents when I was younger and we couldn't make it out to where they lived. She loved me like I was one of her own. And at the mention of her, and how if she was still here she would be at my great aunts guneral, I broke down. Even thinking about her is hard. She died unexpectedly as well.
If I am not on today, or just don't respond, I'm spending time with family I never get to see. Only when someone is getting married, having a baby, or unfortunately at a "family reunion" like this, where someone has passed away. Thank y'all in advance.
