My favorite Aunt died yesterday
The official cause was liver cirrhosis. The real reason was a mix of things: she liked to drink her wine, but that in itself didn't kill her. She tripped and fell, and ended up in the hospital. There, she caught an anti-biotic staph infection in her lungs. They treated it, but not after the staph wreaked havoc on her internal organs. From there, it was only a matter of time.

My wife and I spent last night comforting my cousin, her son, who spent all yesterday on deathwatch.

Fuck.

RIP Karen

:cry:

1. Safe passage, Karen.
Taverner, I'm so sorry for your loss. :hug: We're preparing for a big loss in my family due to a terminal illness, but I'm not convinced that anyone can ever really "prepare" to lose someone they love deeply. Sending y'all peace and comfort. :hug:
