Missed Opportunities?


I feel that I might have missed an opportunity to know someone very special. My Aunt Louise (Grandpa's older sister) passed away this last week at the age of 92. She had been in assisted living for a few years and had Alzheimer's. It was her time to go she knew it and was prepared. She passed peacefully in her sleep with a few of her family there with her. Monday was the service and it was a beautiful one. A happy one even. She will be greatly missed and was greatly loved. After attending the service yesterday I now feel that I missed out on knowing Louise. She was such a great lady and I feel I could have learned a great deal from her. So now I'll take the knowledge I have and ask questions, and learn things that I could have learned before. Although she is gone I can follow the example that she set why she was here and learn to be as kind, as caring, and as great a lady as my Aunt Louise. Keep a good eye on your family from up there. They miss you and will always look up to you! Love Always!
