Wednesday of this past week was one of those days. I mean everything that could go wrong went wrong. Of course nothing to bad just enough to make me whine to my husband and my friend at coffee that morning. I bit my lip so bad it looks like a got punched in the face, Adam had some not so great stuff happen at the office, the funnel dropped into my laundry detergent (how does that even happen), and I’m sure a few more things made the list. Then that evening right before Adam and I walked out the door for a de-stress dinner my phone rang. It was my cousin telling me that there was an emergency with my Aunt Brenda and I needed to get to the hospital now. In the blink of an eye all my petty crap for lack of a better word disappeared. My aunt had a brain aneurysm and wasn’t expected to make it. We stayed at the hospital for a while and went back the next day around lunch. Almost exactly 24 hours after I got the call she was gone.
This week my family and this world lost a wonderful woman of God. She was a wife, mother, aunt, and friend to so many people. She loved beach music, she loved to shag, she loved a good time, and she loved loved loved her family and friends. She will be missed my so many people, her funeral showed that. There were tears and there was laughter because like I said she loved a good time. I hope to be half the woman she was.
Brenda you will be greatly missed, we love you and always will. I know you are smiling down from heaven.
