They've gave my great aunt 24 hours to live. Its so bad. She's in horrible shape. I remember when I was little and I used to go over to her house and play in the attic. It was cool b/c there were stairs in her closet up to the attic. It was so big up there but there was no AC so I could stay up there all the time. And my great grandmother had a apartment behind the house. I loved going there too. She used to give all the kids cookies. In this little tin can with red hearts on it. I remember so much. I have to keep these memories of my great aunt and I just can't see her like she is now. Her son wants a closed coffin b/c she looks so bad. And he sold her house and then woman who lives there now has changed everything. Its not the same anymore. Its going to be hard but I have to be strong for my grandma. It is her sister. Not her only sister but that doesn't matter. Her son and daughter lives far away from here and so does grandma's other sister Sarah. Washington and Virgina. I couldn't image living that far away from mom. Of course I'm moving somewhere but I'll still come and see mom as much as I can and call her every day. They don't even do that. Its a once or twice a year thing with them. But they all travel a great deal. I do understand that but damn their mother is going to die. Before all they could think about was going to Russia. Grandma is pretending to be ok for us. I mean we all knew this day would come but its just hard anyway. I have to keep the memories of her life. The way I want to remember her. I kinda don't want to go to the funneral but I need to go for grandma and mom. I need to stay strong in this for them.--
