As you pass....
Auntie,
83,married 63 of those years married to the love of your life, you are leaving behind a wonderful and beautiful family of 3 kids, many grandkids and wonderful in-laws and friends as well...
Along with a timeless legacy you know nothing about, just for being you. This legacy holds more than any type of monetary gift.
You taught me to love unconditionally and always forgive
Family, faith, friends, frolic....The 4 effs in life. Besides the eff bombs we all toss around. You never did. I
You will never know how much youve mean/meant to me all these years and my entire life.
I shouldve said it more before now
I shouldve been there more before now
I shouldve done more before now
Watching you suffer has been the the worst
I am actually happy for you as you prepare for your final time here with all of us
You have suffered far too long
God will wrap his arms around you and take you where everyone else thats gone before you, and they will make sure your passage from this this life to the next is what youve always thought it should be and you will suffer no more
This has been hard
Losing you is like losing a Mom to me.
Thats how I feel about you.
Youve always been there for me
Eve when I was an asshole teenager being sassy and bad
You and Uncle
Uncle....
Hes loves you like Ive never seen anyone else love another human
Its been an honor and privilege to witness this extremely difficult, sad and very private part of your life and marriage
Thanks to my family for allowing me to be there through all of this, even though Im not technically "immediate family"
Uncle..
Hes going to need all of us now that youre on your way home to be with our Lord
Hes also going need to you to help God help him to understand this loss
Theres never been anyone like you
You love endlessly and non judgingly
If only there were more people in this world like you
Its sad to say you and Uncle are taking this way of living with you when you go
I can only hope and pray to live my life as beautifully as you have Auntie.
May you die with grace, peace and painfree surrounded by all your family and may your next step in the next life greet you with all that you dreamed it would.
Letting you go, has been much, much harder than youll ever know, harder than I ever could imagine
My own mother turned me way
You never did.
Thank you for that.
This is the crappy part of life, letting go of those we love to go on with the Lord
I love you so much. And always will
You no longer need to be afraid
Embrace the Lord
Hes ready for you
Until we meet again, Auntie....

you have my condolences beautiful lady my mother in law just turned ninety and has been the family I'd been missing for many a year now before I signed on here tonight I was faced with her mortality and see you are facing much the same thing... this is a loving tribute to her spirit... hugs I love you 💕

Thanks, B. Its been heart-wrenching to say the very least. One thing this has taught me is that true love exists. Watching my Uncle with her through all of this and her with him....One word....Love. Unrequited deep love for you the one youve chosen to share your life with. Its been an honor and a privilege to witness this. Its so very sad at the same time. May her passing be fast and painless. :( <3

A very touching write. I'm glad you have written this while it is still not too late to say how you feel about your auntie within this tribute. 😊

Thanks, Billy. Its been so much harder than I knew it could be. My Aunt and Uncle are the last of a great generation. No one lives nor loves like this anymore. At least if they do, its very few. Their way of living and loving is like no one else. My poor Uncles going to need everyone to rally around him, and we all will, more than we have, yet we will also grace him with the space he needs to grieve the loss of the love of his life. I cant imagine....<3 :(

Perhaps it is a slight comfort that you will have a little time to gather your thoughts & put plans in place for this sad eventuality. As ever though, these jolts we experience in life are a reminder of how time passes, our place within it & our inability to hang on to it!

Youre so correct. And with this time, make the very very best of it while you can. <3

Faith outpouring with gallons of tears yet tears of joy for lives best lived ...
The physical life may pass but the spirit lives on and that is eternal. You will think of your Aunt everyday and she will guide you when help is needed.
A beautiful tribute Alison....you are the right stuff

Thanks G. This means a lot to me. Being a part of this has been very hard, yet I am honored to have seen what real, true love within a marriage means and is. I will never forget them for allowing me to see it.
Death is very sad, yes...but to me its a renewal, a rebirth so to speak....the human body is gone, yet like you said, their spirit never dies. It lives with you still every day....<3

Dear ML,
This poem is one of those pieces that make you stop short and reflect on the shortness and fragility of life and relationships. It’s a beautiful homage to your aunt and I’m very sorry. My condolences for this situation and loving hugs to embrace you. H🌷

Saying goodbye and acknowledging your auntie who is so important in your life has got to be
heartbreaking and painful. There are no words - but you wrote a selfless poem that focused on her importance
and relevance in your life. Sending you courage and grace throughout such a life altering moment:)
God Bless.

I'm sorry you are having to go through this. May God comfort you and keep you strong. When I was a lot younger, I lost the three most important people in my life in a matter of a few months all in the same year. It was devastating to say the least. I knew I had to go on but I sure didn't feel like it. I knew in my heart all three of them would wish me courage and strength, so I carried on. And so will you. It won't be easy at first you can bet on that but you will make it.
I love your tribute to your Auntie. It's heart wrenching and really moved me. God bless you!

Beautiful...
My condolences...
(I think you are right...
People don't love like they used to...
But...
I think you can keep love alive...)

Thanks, Cipher. I think of Auntie every day I look outside and see the cardinals in the woods behind my home. Shes there every day....I can feel her. I hope she can give us the strength to love the way her my Uncle did. Loving that way isnt easy, however its necessary. <3

A beautiful tribute! I may be late but you have my sincere condolences nonetheless.

She lives on in you through tributes like this and the other people whose life she touched. Our physical manifestation may cease but our essence lives on in the imprints that we left on those around us.
