Sad news

Well, today is the first day of winter and I definitely feel that cold air. It is not necessarily cold outside...just cold in life right now. This holiday season was hard enough as I have lost an uncle earlier this year, an aunt just about a month ago, my father-in-law about 3 months ago....and today we buried another one. My aunt Penina Arlissa Owenby. In case you haven't figured it out...I was her name sake. I was named after two aunts...her and my Aunt Sue...which Sue is my middle name.
Her heart stopped beating and she stopped breathing....for how long...no one really knows. But her neighbor was there when it happened and called 911. They did revive her...but she had severe brain damage...and she was basically gone. The doctor recommended that we give 24 hours to see if there was any improvements...but there were none. The was having seizues basically every second...non stop and they had her maxed on the meds to make it stop. The only thing keeping her alive was the ventilator (life support) and so on Friday, December 18th....at 10:30 a.m....we took her off and let her go. She was not alone as I and her caregiver who was also her sister, Kathy...held her hand as she passed from this life to the next. She also had her other sister Jean, grandson Adam, niece Sonya, and niece Carol. And today...we laid her to rest. What a hard time life seems to be sometimes. We don't understand....why things happen the way they do...and it makes it hard.
That is why we should all take everyday as it is....a blessing. We are all blessed to have one more day to spend with our love ones. So slow down....and enjoy everyday as it would be your last or your loved ones.

So rest in peace my dear Aunt Pina! I love you and miss you terribly. With all my love....Butter. :-(
