Well I guess it's fitting for this year....my Auntie just died today. Dad's younger sister. 2020 has been horrible...I'm going to sleep until 2021 and hope things get better.

Thanks everyone....heard my phone going off at midnight with lovely messages that boosted my spirits (had no spirits because the news meant I just wasn't feeling it).
My Auntie was a fighter....diagnosed with brain cancer years ago...to the point that they called the family in to say goodbye. But she wasn't ready to go and fought on for 20 years more! It was lung cancer that finally proved too much. She'd lost her husband to a drowning years ago and raised my 4 young cousins all on her own. She was a huge role model to me...strong and independent.
@smithers joe...funny, just as I was typing out this response he called. He's "hanging in there" too...lost brother and sister within months. Both younger than he is (he's the oldest of 4 children). We're really in protective mode of him....he's everything. How are YOU doing my friend?
