my aunt is living her last days, with each day i see a piece of her leave. she's fading away and i know that when she goes it will be a beautiful tragedy. she left her legacy behind, the legacy of her beautiful children and the impactful and beautiful life she led. My aunt didnt go down easy, even now when not much of her is left she is fighting with all that she has. She was always a strong, independent, outspoken and brave and i will always remember her that way. many times we didnt meet eye to eye with her world views but it is only now that i realise that she only thought for the betterment of me and my siblings. she only came from a place of love and i have nothing but respect and love for her. i'm overwhelmed by her memories at the moment and cannot begin to comprehend what the upcoming future holds and a future without her presence will be something that will take a lot of time getting used too but i will always make sure she lives on through the stories i tell of her to everyone i meet and know....
