I'll see you in heaven

Today, was a sad day, I found out that my aunt Jeannette passed away, after a long hard battle with Cancer. She will be missed greatly, and I will never forget seeing her last weekend. We were celebrating hers and my aunt Laurette's 60th birthday, which would have been tomorrow. I am so glad we got to spend that time with her, and that even though she was only days from her final breath, she still was able to spend time with the family.

I remember last summer when I went to visit and we had only recently found out that her cancer had returned. I remember going out across the road and feeding the neighbors horses grass from the ditch. She felt so bad for those poor animals. I remember when I said goodbye, it was the tightest hug I'd ever recieved. A hug I'll never get again. I won't ever forget it.

This past weekend she was reading the birthday card I gave her, and she blew me a kiss saying thank-you and then asked me if I wanted a picture of her with the card. She knew it would be the last time I saw her, and she knew I needed that one last thing to remember. She was fussing after I took the picture that the card was in front of her face, and all I said is: "I can see your smile and that's all that matters!"

As hard as it is to say goodbye to such a wonderful person, I know I will see her again someday. To my auntie Jeannette "I Love you, and I can't wait to see you again, someday!"
