I can't believe she's gone. My Aunt Carolyn passed away this morning from lung cancer. I am just so sad. I just can't believe it.
Aunt Carolyn was so much fun. She always loved me unconditionally - even through my wild stages of life. She was my mom's identical twin sister. They were quite a pair. For 10 years they did not speak to each other b/c of something stupid. Thankfully they forgave each other shortly before their mother died in 2006. They have been as close as ever since. I know it meant a lot to Carolyn to have my mom by her side as she has battled cancer for the past year.
We thought Carolyn had more time. We were planning a 5 day cruise with a bunch of family on Feb. 10th. My mom and aunt's birthday is on the 9th - so we were going to celebrate what we were pretty sure would be Carolyn's last birthday.
I was able to talk to my Aunt very shortly before she died and make sure that she knew she would be in Heaven. She assured me that she did know Jesus as her Savior.
Just knowing that she is with Him right now - NOT coughing, NOT in pain is soooo comforting to me right now.
It still sucks though. It really does. I already miss her...

I was so sad to hear that your Aunt passed away already. I know you were looking forward to spending more time with her on the cruise. At least you have the comfort of knowing she's in the presence of God now completely healed!!
