Sad loss from your perspective, but a peaceful release from an unhappy last few months. It was best for you all that she didn't linger on in that state for years, as many elderly people do.<br />You retiring?? That sounds like a sudden decision! I only say that because from reading your blog I've always had the impression that you had intended to continue working for some time yet! Your colleagues and staff will miss you, I bet!Gina E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07532527261977368083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23379328.post-74534151544203250412011-05-28T22:42:40.915+01:002011-05-28T22:42:40.915+01:00So sorry for the loss of your aunt.

I recently lost my mother and brother, and it has been tremendously sad. However, like you, life goes on and the kiddos grow up and their life changes change mine also. (Especially becoming a grandparent.) It just demonstrates that life goes on and on and on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23379328.post-31010326032767102842011-05-28T16:34:33.625+01:002011-05-28T16:34:33.625+01:00I am sorry for your loss, I'm sure the good me...I am sorry for your loss, I'm sure the good memories of your remarkable aunt will very soon eclipse the sadness of her last days.

But the end of a long life and of a lifelong relationship is never anything but sad and shocking. What a lot you have had to deal with this year - a rich life, full of love, but totally exhausting, I'm sure. Take good care of yourself. Perhaps you might manage a little time out every now and then for fantasising about what you might like to do entirely for our own pleasure in a few momths time when the wedding, the birth and your mother's move are over?Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08690685768980280402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23379328.post-61295466410505787982011-05-27T09:45:36.182+01:002011-05-27T09:45:36.182+01:00Condolences from me too.
