Hey everyone, I wanted to share something really personal with you all. It’s been a tough few weeks since my Aunt Carol passed away. She was such a vibrant, hilarious person, and the hole she’s left in our family is enormous. I’m still reeling from the shock, honestly, and trying to process everything. It feels strange not being able to call her up for a chat or share a silly story. I miss her laugh, her terrible puns (which I secretly loved), and her unwavering support. To my Aunt Carol, wherever you are: thank you for everything. You were one of a kind.
Thinking back on all the memories I have with her just makes me smile. From childhood summers spent at her lake house, to her legendary holiday feasts, to the countless times she offered a listening ear and a shoulder to cry on – she was the rock of our family, always ready with a warm hug and a piece of her famous apple pie. It’s those little everyday moments that are flooding back now, the quiet moments of connection that showed just how much she cared. She always had a way of making you feel seen and loved, no matter what.
Losing her has definitely left a void, but I’m finding comfort in remembering all the joy she brought into our lives. I’m grateful for every moment I had with her, and I’ll cherish those memories forever. She taught me so much about kindness, resilience, and the importance of family. And I hope to carry her spirit – her warmth, her humor, and her unwavering love – with me always. I’ll be sharing some more memories and stories about her as I process my grief, if you’re up for hearing them.
