My great aunt passed away 2 nights ago. SH ewas always an older person even when i was young . Grey hair. thick italian accent. Had to do double takes to listen to what she was saying. Her house was impeccable. Clean as a whistle so to speak. I remember walkin into her house and it had a warmth to it. A smell of cookies and pasta. There was always fresh cookies. SOme tasty some you would bite them and just chew and try to enjoy it. She was cheery and always wanted to pinch your face.
Not sure how to act at funerals. THey are so formal. We go wednesday for the showing. I was weepy yesterday and I can't imagine if it was my own mother. I know its gods way. But its not any easier. I will put on a brave face and be there for my dad. Its his aunt. Funny we just had a birth in our family so it really is a matter of one leaving and one starting fresh. Life is truly amazing. And memories of her life are amazing.
