So.... This is what I want for my house one day, when I get married. I want my house to be all festive and seasonal. This centerpiece is completely real, a crystal bowl of my grandmothers, a small pumpkin (I swear no imperfections, I was so lucky) and leaves from the backyard (courtesy of Josh and Gma and Gpa). My mother came over to my grandparents house to retrieve an angel she had acquired by my Aunt Jeanne's death two weeks ago. Her b-day is tomorrow, which she might kill me for saying... but she is getting older, lol. So I did a coffee and cake type get together. Called up my sister and she brought over her two children, Ben (3yrs) and Al'Aura (2 months). Josh was there, of course, I can't do these things without him, I get swpt into a frenzy. there are some pictures on my facebook page. (http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=119441&id=510399600&l=3701813525). I was able to get pictures of Al'Aura smiling, which Sharon (my sister) says she hasn't been able to do yet.
Right now, I am enjoying and thanking the Lord for the beautiful Fall weather, the season and the wonderful time spent with my mom and grandparents (my parents are divorced and these are what you would call ex-in laws, i guess) . I always remember that my Aunt and mother were very close, because anyone who came into contact with my grandmother's family 20 years ago became a member of the family. My mom always said that she always appreciated the time my Grandmother Louise spent with her and even though my Grandmother can be a bit much sometimes, my mom always was able to handle it, just like a true southern belle. She's from Georgia...
So within this passage, you have learned that my Aunt Jeanne died about two weeks ago from a complication, that all started with fibromyleosis. a rare cancer. She was being treat at the University of Utah, and was given stem cells from my fathers (her brother) blood. And from there, things, problems, came and went, but she eventually couldn't push through it any longer, with being on immuno-suppressants, she developed a angioscarcoma on her C5 Vertebre, in her neck, and with it growing so fast, pushed on her trachea, and caused her to have trouble breathing. So, since the angioscarcoma had taken over her neck area, there was.... almost nothing to do. There was no quality of life, just quantity of life. So my uncle Chris made the right choices, and my Grandparents were able to get to Salt Lake City in time to see her before she passed, although she was no longer responsive. I feel bad that I wasn't able to go out there and visit her, or talk to her more. I never thought I would regret something like that, but here I am, at 23 and already regretting it.

Treat every goodbye as it may be your last... and never leave angry.
