July 18th ~ Monday... The Tears Just Start Coming

 I'm a bit sad as I learned today, from my elderly mother that her sister, my wonderful Aunt Aurora, is currently in hospital with late stage leukemia.  Mom's very sad knowing her younger sister is terminally ill, in pain, and confused (also has late stage Alzheimer's) and can't be with her.  The sadness in mom's voice is something I find hard to deal with.  Normally, she's the most upbeat; lively gal you will ever meet.
