No Saw Whet banding or GIFF movies for us this weekend. My aunt passed away last night and the memorial is Saturday in Duluth. I’m so glad I got up there a couple weeks back to see her. The cancer took her fast, which is probably a blessing. But it’s still sad. We were visiting my mom and dad (her brother) this weekend and they told me she had rallied a bit the other day and wanted to go for a drive around the city and up the shore. All the grandkids and most of us nephews and nieces (there was only one of those, me!) had made a visit. I think she was ready to go after that. She was at home with family.
Sorry to hear this, Gwyn. I lost two uncles and an aunt last year, all my mom’s siblings/-in-law. But like you, we were grateful for last visits and the last upswings (which gave us all false hope), but at least they were enjoying some of life in their last days.
