My Auntie Rebecca passed this morning...

Unfortunately, she was diagnosed with cancer - a while back and gave into it slowly. She recently stopped eating and was probably ready to go home to be with the Lord. It's still quite hard to even type it! She was the BEST part of my family, next to her son...

If it was not for her, my life would not have changed.  If it were not for her, I would not be here. This beautiful lady gave me my name...

This tragedy if just not easy to digest. With my first pregancy with Malachi my uncle passed and unfortunately we had bad words with eachother - and that has never been a great thought.

Now being 5 months pregnant and having a woman who was like another mother to me, pass? and again, we failed to have a good talk within the past year due to some lovely issues with my grandfather and mother [not me] UGH!

...My other aunts and uncles failed to call and ant least pretend to care for my  feelings - it is such a sad situation that it remains to feel beyond painful.

She's dancing with angels now ... and man, after looking at the way my own family has been acting - I'm glad my aunt is having fun!
