A Matter of Life and Death

31 January 2013

On this day, my dearest aunt passed away from lymphoma.

The cancer struck so suddenly four months ago. She fought, she held on, but eventually it sapped all her strength.

My aunt was a beautiful person. She retained her childlike innocence throughout life and was only capable of seeing the best in people. I remember the last time I saw her, in Toronto, September 2011. She chastised me for not staying longer, her eyes were so clear, you could see through to her soul. Now I will never again feel her lovely gaze on my face.

I miss her. So so so so much.
