Two sides of the same coin?
Two sides of the same coin?
let's just say lifestyle... she had six sons and one daughter... two sons and the one daughter are still living... the one daughter lost her only son last summer... he was shot for 20 bucks... my aunt's youngest son accidentally shot and killed her grandson (they were the same age)... the thing is, none of us here in California were all that surprised when we heard what had happened... she lost one son, my cousin Lawrence--who was my age, and i was close to, to cancer... but he had almost died years before that to a drug overdose... in fact, his heart had stopped beating... and he was once shot twice in the face and survived...
yes, God bless my aunt, who is a strong Christian woman... she is my mother's youngest sister... she and my mom (who has seven children) have had very different experiences... i won't even go into the children of my mother's older sister, or the children of my father's oldest sister--also in New Mexico... lots of loss to gun violence, lots of prison time... sad, sad, sad...
