Unexpected Travel

I'll be out of town for a few days. I should start by saying that I have regrets. I have some regarding the death of my father. I also regret not attending the funeral of my favorite aunt. At the time I was able to blame it on work, not being able to take time off so suddenly, whatever. Truthfully, though, I didn't have the heart. I would have been a big sloppy mess. I miss my aunt as much as anyone I've ever lost in my life. She and her husband were a rare pair of folks.

So, that's in the past. It can't be changed. As for now, my step-mom has been in a state of failing health for quite awhile. A diabetic for years, she more recently had been on dialysis and required home care as she couldn't do so many things for herself anymore. Well, at any rate, she is no longer of this world. I will be back in a few days.
