| My Auntie (L) and my mom, September 2010 |
Three weeks ago today, the world lost an amazing woman - my Auntie - after a several year long battle with cancer. It was absolutely heartbreaking and gut wrenching to see her in so much pain in the last several years, and excruciatingly sad to lose her. She was much beloved by all us, and touched so many lives as a sister, aunt, friend, teacher ... she is truly missed.
My aunt lived her life in the healthiest way that she knew how, filled with vitamins and meditation, years of being a vegetarian, etc. I remember a conversation I had with her years ago, in which she exclaimed, "I wish I had eaten more cookies!!" Now, she meant this in the most literal sense possible, but it can also be translated as a statement to advise all of us to live life to the fullest.
