Goodbye & Sweet Dreams

My dear, sweet Aunty Joyce passed away this morning. The news came in the early hours that her long battle was over. We knew it was coming, but no matter how much you prepare yourself, it still shocks, hurts and numbs you. Rest in Peace Aunty Joyce, I will miss you greatly.

Aunty Joyce

Yesterday I drove to Plymouth with my parents and brother to visit my Aunt in the hospital. Despite all of the radiotherapy and stem cell treatment, the Leukemia is winning. She faded in and out of consciousness, but was lucid just long enough to recognise me and my mum and give us a smile. She is the only family my dad has left, so I know how ever long she has left is going to be especially hard for him. I wish we didn't live three hours away, because all we have left now is time and there simply isn't enough of it.
