So a bit happened since I posted on my message board a few weeks ago.
My 10 year old cousin was diagnosed with cancer, and my aunty very unexpectedly passed away from a cancer relapse that she’d kept hidden.
My cousin is doing well and is in the best place possible.
My aunty was a shock that I (and my entire family) was completely unprepared for. This disease is evil. She visited us all a few months ago to say goodbye, except we didn’t know it was goodbye. She wanted it that way, and the hardest part is I cannot for the life of me remember if I hugged her.
I hate hugging people. I avoid it. I don’t like people being that close to me (tism community will get it). But I do it if forced through social convention. But I would have hugged her tightly had I known, and I don’t remember if I did.
That’s what’s been happening. And I just wanted to remind you to hug your loved ones even if it makes you uncomfy.
And make sure you get checked out regularly!
