Goodbye

Goodbye sweet one.  My much beloved aunt slipped out of this life early this morning.  She is at home with her Lord and at peace.  Those of us left behind are saddened by our loss, which is magnified by the fact that she left a 48 year old son with autism.  He doesn't understand what has happened.  He cannot care for himself alone, so plans are in place for temporary care in his home while suitable living arrangements are being made.

It is a bittersweet time in my family's life.  The sadness of the funeral is being planned to accommodate the joy of a wedding this weekend.  I and my family are in need of much prayer and support these next few days.   I'm not sure how much I'll be around, but I know I will feel your prayers for comfort.  I'll check in as I can.

  2. I'm so sorry to hear of your family's loss. I especially am heartbroken for the adult son who cannot grasp the situation. So sad. I have a 22 yo niece who has Down syndrome. We all often worry about the "what ifs." (((hugs))) and prayers.

  3. Had been waiting for this news since you'd let us know it was coming! So sorry! As you know, there are things much more important than food and/or weight loss, but this will nonetheless, be a stressful time for you. Stay strong so you will have no regrets after the grieving and the festivities are behind you.
