Thanks For the Memories

On this day four years ago I called my mom from school to see if one of my friends could come over for dinner. My grandma had been sick and we weren't expecting her to be with us much longer. My mom sounded distressed and instantly I knew something was wrong. But, surprisingly, it wasn't about my grandma..it was about my aunt. My aunt had died and it came out of left field. I wasn't really close with my aunt but now I wish I would have been. You never know how much time you have with someone. A year ago tomorrow we had to put my dog down. I still think about her all the time and tear up. Nothing I can do will bring her back and it kills me inside. Something I will always have are my memories. I will remember my aunt how she was and I still had 18 years with her. I had 14 with my dog but that still wasn't enough. When I was younger I would joke that I was going to clone her so she would live forever. So, thanks for the memories Penny and Aunt Sandy. I love you and rest in peace.
