My Great Aunt Alice died on Sunday morning at 07.30.
Also I had intended to write a long(ish) post in her honour today, to remind myself why I loved her and to share some funny stories with you. I've just found out that the library is closing at 17.00 instead of 17.30 and now I won't have time. I will post more about her when I can though - she was a great woman and I loved her more than my Grandmother. The funeral will be next week sometime and I know I will find it hard to get through. We went to see her in hospital on Friday, although it was only to show we cared as she was expected to be out within days. Mum said to me on the way there, "You do have something to wear to the funeral don't you, if and when it comes up?" Which really made me laugh at the time as she's spent most of my life trying to get me out of black. I said, "Mum! If anyone has black clothes it's me!" I had no idea I'd be wearing them so soon. Alice Doyle RIP.

I'm sorry for your loss SG. If there's anything I can do let me know.
Also, I note your Aunts name is Doyle. My Nana's maiden name was Doyle. I wonder if somewhere down the line we could be related. Wouldn't that be a trip and a half. My thoughts are with you my friend.

To cut a long story short:
My grandmother is dying. She can't come to my wedding. My dad is trying to take care of her and make her as comfortable as possible. As a result, he may not be able to come to the wedding, either. The wedding is 3 weeks away. I am currently curled up in the university library crying my eyes out. And I can't skip class tonight. |

She is currently about four hours away, at my dad's house in South Florida. I got to see her last weekend when she was in a hospital about an hour away from here, but my dad says she's gone "downhill" since then, so they sent her home with him.

I'm sorry about your situation Choco. I guess you have some tough choices coming up maybe.
My thoughts will be with you and kits.
