Death. Why do people have to die? Sometimes, it just isn't fair.

Today, my aunt passed away. I mean, yeah, it was expected, but why? She has 2 boys, one is 13 and the other one is 15 and a wonderful husband. She originally had breast cancer, but then it started spreading. It eventually got to the point of where she had tumors on her brain. They just kept getting worse and worse. Her husband was doing everything he could. They went to all kinds of trials to see if things were working. It got a little better, but then just got even worse. Two weeks ago today, they had hospice care come in. They said it was only going to be a matter of days, maybe weeks. She died in her sleep, which at least she went peacefully. Her husband was in bed, by her side, and he woke up for some reason. He grabbed her hand and she felt really cold. He knew what had just happened. He said that he had been up since 2AM.

I feel so helpless and bad for him and his kids. I can't imagine what it's like to lose a spouse and mother. All I can say is that God is watching over his family and all of the loved ones.

I think that it's very important to tell the people you truly love, and care about, how much you really love them. Even if you're going to see them within the next 5 minutes, you should always tell them you love them. You never know what could happen. People take life so for-granted sometimes, and when you're least expecting it, they're gone. Keep the ones you love in your life, say 'I love you', and never ever take life forgranted <3
