My Wife and I just came back from her fathers 80th birthday party. It was great fun.
While away, we found out that my aunt (my moms sister) passed away at 80 years old while we where away.
We knew that my aunt may not make it. But we needed to be back for the birthday party for my wife’s dear dad. That’s the way it works. Life is for the living.
My Wife and I came back from the funeral for my aunt yesterday. We where able to be there for my Mom and my cousins and myself. I did and do love my aunt. She was quite the bees knees.
But that’s not the point. While we where in PA, my 15 year old niece approached my wife and I to express her condolences. And sadness that my aunt had passed on.
My niece had just found out about my aunt( so did I ). This wonderful girl/young lady said to my Wife and I this “Please call if you need to. I’ll be there. I know I’m just a kid but that’s OK”.
She offered emotional support if we need it, but claims to be ‘just a kid’. I’ll never forget it. My niece is only 15
Just a kid.
