This year, it was harder to go. Auntie was losing her fight with cancer... time was precious... moments were precious. I was thankful that I got to spend several hours with her alone on Thursday night before we left. She was in a lot of pain, moaning and groaning a lot. She drank an entire glass of water.. not wanting to let go, until she'd drank the WHOLE thing! (I'm not the only stubborn one!) Awhile into the night, she opened her eyes and again said, "Jessica, did I tell you that I love you?" She had.. but it was sweet to hear it again. I got home in the wee hours of the morning... taught that Friday and we left for Banff from school. Mom is soooooo good at COMMUNICATING! (See last post to explain this capital letters!) So, I knew there was nothing more I could do... off we went, and mom kept us posted on auntie. Got the text around midnight Sunday night/Monday morning that she was gone.
However, inspite of all the emotions, it was a good week-end. We wandered the town, went watersliding and skating. I'm sooo disappointed that the Murtles now are made with peanuts, rather than cashews. Not the same at all!!! :(
We went alone this year. :( (Try not to feel too guilty D and C!)
