"-" 2006-10-19 - 11:48 p.m. My aunt died today. Great aunt, actually. She was my grandmother's sister. She never had kids of her own, so when my grandparents died 25 years ago, she adopted my family. She could drink anyone under the table and still maintain her ladylike demeanor. She would only drive bright red cars because she thought they could go faster than other cars. She was in her 90s, and she refused to move into a retirement community because she didn't like old people. She was a dear, sweet, stubborn and feisty old woman who could infuriate a person like no one else, and I loved her fiercely. Last Christmas she had a stroke from which she never fully recovered. Since then, she's been growing smaller and more frail each day. Especially towards the end, she was miserable and in pain, and watching her suffer was heart-wrenching. I know that death was a release, I know that she's better off now. I know all of that, but...shit. ***** God or gods or spirits or the Great Spaghetti Monster...whoever is up there, if anyone is even up there...I need you to lay off for a while. I know that death is part of life, I know that stuff happens, that it's nature and just the way things are, that it's not all about me, but I'm so freakin' tired of it. I'm beat down, whoever, and I can't take much more, okay? So just stop for a bit. Ease up and let me catch my breath, huh? And if you could speed up the rest of the year so we could all start fresh in 2007, that would be awesome, because I have to tell you, 2006 has kinda been a bite in the ass, and it can't end soon enough for my liking. |
