Today's blog post isn't going to be pertaining anything blog related this evening. Today has been a bitter sweet day. This early morning heaven received a beautiful angel. My Aunt Nancy passed this early morning. She battled a long hard battle and was so strong for so long. Today, she is finally free of pain and suffering. This is such a bitter sweet loss for my family and I. She fought so hard for so long to hang on and now she is completely pain free of everything. We never hope to loose someone we love and cherish our whole lives. However, its the hardest thing to watch the ones you love struggle being sick day in and day out and watching her quality of life diminish as the days go on.
So instead of mourning the loss of this incredibly selfless, beautiful, and amazing woman. We are going to celebrate her. My aunt was one of the strongest women I have ever met in my entire life. She was truly remarkable. From the early age of 25 my aunt was in a horrible tobogganing accident. Where she broke her back and left her paralyzed from the waist down. Do you think not walking was an option for her? Of course not! You know that girl was up and walking . It was a long road but she did it. So proving that she could struggle through and fight her way through this traumatic injury. She could do anything.
This woman tackled just about anything. No matter how hard the struggle was or what complications came along. She did it with a smile on her face. A beautiful smile at that.
My Aunt was the kindest, sweetest, and most loyal person. She was the proudest aunt in the whole wide world. She loved watching my brother and I grow up. She loved spending time with us. Always spoiling my brother and I beyond words. Completely selfless. She never failed us and always letting us know she was there for us no matter what.
A year ago October 12, 2013 I married my best friend in the whole wide world. Unfortunately, due to her illness she wasn't able to make it. Josh and I went to see her a bunch in the weeks leading up to our wedding. I remember snuggling her while she cried because she was so devastated that she couldn't come to my wedding. I told her that the #1 reason I got a videographer was for the soul purpose so that she could see every single special moment just as though she had been there. I promised her that she would be the first one to see the video. I held on to my promise and as soon as I got the video Josh and I went straight down to the hospital and she watched the entire thing. With tears of joy and happiness she watched every second of the video and loved every single minute of it.
The way this woman impacted and loved every single person in her life was just incredible. She will forever live on in all our hearts and our memories. In just 12 days my husband and I will be celebrating our first Anniversary. As we celebrate our special day she will be right there with us just as she was the day we said I do and celebrating the beautiful life of my Aunt Nancy.
A Message from Your Niece:
