My husband’s aunt passed away. She had been ill for quite some time, and although she will be greatly missed it really was a blessing in so many ways. First, she was a wonderful person and lived a great life. Second, her husband has been in heaven for a long time. Third, because she has been ill for so long, she will now rest.

We traveled to see her at the viewing and to pay our respects to the family. We had a wonderful time. Some of the family I knew and haven’t seen for years. Others I have never met. We visited and talked and laughed and cried. It was so fun. It was so nice.

Why does it take someone passing on to get us back together? I don’t know, maybe because we don’t know how to start talking to each other if we don’t have something to talk about. Maybe that’s number Four. The Fourth reason it was a blessing that Geri passed away is because we got together and remembered that we love each other and that we don’t want to wait so long to see each other again.
