So Sunday afternoon while I was sleeping (I work overnights, if you're just dropping into this blog) I recieved a Facebook message from one of my cousins on my Mother's side. My aunt (Mom's only sibling) passed away Saturday.My employer does offer paid bereavement, but only for close relatives (learned this from when my grandmother passed away), and aunts aren't close enough. So I went to work that night. My boss did offer the night off, but I declined as I was already there, and I'm already on this ice with my attendence issues....
So long story short, we lost Aunt Linda. She was my next door neighbor when my brother and I first moved in here. Eventually she moved to live with one of my cousins, and we grew apart. I never really kept in touch with Mom's side of the family (for some reason, Facebook never really took).
Rest easy, Aunt Linda. Mom will show you around....
