Spring

Every spring my great aunt Anne who lives in Alexandria in VA. hosts a picnic on her front porch. I was there last week and I noticed that she didn't seem very well. I didn;t know that she was dying. The viewing was today and the funeral will be tomarrow. We have reatives from out of town staying with us so that they can attend the funeral. This makes me sad. Oma has been having serious back touble recently and she still hasn't given up smoking. I wonder if she'll be next. It's going to be wierd not having Aunt Anne around. I would be even wierder not having Oma. It will happen eventually as it happens to everybody but you just get so used to having people around that you could never imagine a would without them. I don't no. Maybe I shouldn't worry, but I do.

Gracias.

Here's a follow-up. I just now got back from the funeral service. The final speeches given by her immediate family (children and such) were actually very moving. It made me really wish I had known her better.

The parish we went to was within a mile of Mt. Vernon. It was the most attractive ugly church I've ever seen.

God Bless.
