Your end came
So soon

Just feels too soon

I don't know what to think
Or what to do

Auntie, I grieve more for your life
Than I do your death
To be perfectly honest

I know that you knew
The pain that extended through your own
  and I know you drowned it

Or at least attempted to

I will love your children
I won't leave them alone
Because I can't

Family is supposed to stick together, right?
I know you'd say so

I love you
I hurt for your end
I hurt for every day that your life brought you the fruit of wrong choices - and I admire your uncanny way of saying wrong is always wrong, even if it was you doing it.

You are my aunt
And I love you
And I will always love you
And I will love those who you so dearly love

You threw us for a loop lady
And thats not always such a bad thing

You beautiful lady

Thank you for letting us see beyond your crust -
letting us see who you really were

Dear poet...
a most wrenching write...
I will keep the family
in my prayers...
because this is too real
not to be "just"

No greater tribute than the raw emotion of words strung together in prose...

Let my words fall first upon deaf ears before a closed mind...

Copperbell, I am so sorry for your loss.  This was such a tender tribute.
