My precious great aunt, baby sister of my grandfather is dying.
It's so sad. She is sort of drugged up right now, but I went to see her tonight. She opened her eyes briefly and smiled at me when I asked her if she remembered her mom, and some other things.
She was a member of the greatest generation. The one Tom Brokaw says "saved the world and then rebuilt it."
She married her Italian Catholic boyfriend when things like that just weren't done in Birmingham, Al. They were both 17.
Soon Uncle Sam called, and he went away to war.
When he came home 4 years later, she was at the skating rink. She didn't even recognize him.
Their first child died soon after her was born, and it almost killed both of them.
Their next four children all thrived, and were as dark haired and dark skined as she was red headed and freckled.
It wasn't until 3 generations later that the red hair showed back up in a great grandson.
Boy was she proud.
When she was a little girl, her older brothers pulled the outhouse over on the old maid school teacher.
I reminded her of that story tonight and she tried to laugh.
Morphine has a way of stealing your voice.

So sorry. Prayers for her, and for you.

God Bless your Great Aunt and all of your family. I'm glad you were able to be with her for some time, and to share a funny memory. It will truly be well with her soul when her Lord comes to take her Home.
