I started out with having 7 aunts on myMum's side. I am now down to one aunt and she will be 100 years old on May 7th. I lost one in November and it was so very sad. Everyone of them were like second mother's to me. My cousins and I used to play together because we all lived in the same area. The aunt that passed in November begged her son to kill her. She was 97 years old. She wanted to die so very much, so she refused all food and water. She was very heavy and lost a lot of weight and when I looked at her, with that weight loss, she looked just like she did when I was young. That made it even sadder. I lost another one 2 years ago from cancer. She was the funny one and could get you to laugh anywhere. Aunt K. was 88 when she passed. Except for this aunt, all the others passed when they were in their 90"s. My mother was two weeks short of her 97th birthday. All of my aunts wore their age very well. None of them looked their age, it had to be because I am told I do not look my age, and my daughter has told me that people can't believe she is 49, 50 next month. I visit my aunt a few times a month, she lives in a senior citizens home, which is very nice, and it is close to my home. She keeps asking me to pray to God so that he takes her.
