I'm not quite sure I am able to handle any more death and dying this week - but I think this is not the end of news that will come my way.
Yesterday was met with many texts that my mom's sister has transitioned to hospice - I have no news on that one this morning, so I will not assume to know where things are at. Suffice to say - lots of texts to my cousins yesterday that I am praying for them....
...which leads me to this morning's email from our old neighbor in the house before this one. She didn't want to start my day off as she was about to - but it was important to know...my sweet, soft spoken, kind neighbor from that Cal house - whose husband died at 59 last summer - passed away, also on Easter.
Talk about a kind heart - and sweet demeanor. She was a little light in the world that quietly went about spreading love. She was 62.
The reality of that is hard for me as well - that's not too far off for me, certainly not for my husband - or any of my cousins.
At another time, I will ruminate on the fact that she is the 12th person - friend or family - that I have lost since January 1. Twelve people in fourteen weeks. But that's for another time.
For now, I use this blog to create an archive to myself - and to share a little of her light.
