Death, again














My aunt is dying.

The doctors in the hospital have given up.

I know she is afraid. She's not really prepared. But she wants to go anyway.

Life has been hard for her these past years. And i know she just wants to let go.

It's difficult when you've still got so many issues unresolved.

She lived most of her life for her man, her husband. She turned her back on her family, uprooted, gave up her past, all for him. And at the end of her life, he let her down. She regrets giving him so much now. And wishes she had kept more for herself.

She still loves him though. And will continue till her last breath. No matter what he's done to her. No matter what she's had to go through.

I hopes she finds some peace.
