My Last Remaining Aunt Died this Morning

Tweet

Up until this morning, I only had one remaining aunt (my mom's sister) and one remaining uncle (my dad's brother) still living. My Aunt died this morning. I think she was 85 or 87 or something. We weren't close these last 40 years. She lived about two hours north of here, just this side of Cincinnati, Ohio. Growing up, she was my favorite Aunt. But like my mom, who suffered mental illness, my aunt also became strange later in life and she and her kids battled like my mom and me battled. Here's the interesting thing. My mom died 8 years ago today, the same day my aunt has died. I wish for her two kids (my cousins) condolences. I don't know if there'll be a funeral or not.
