Are always hard. Yesterday we said good bye to Auntie Ruthie....she wasn't my aunt but my SIL's. When my brother married her I attached myself to her family, they are so warm, loving, kind, close knit, all the things I lacked growing up. Ruthie came every year with us to Myrtle Beach and she really was a hoot. Each year we'd give her some wine bottles to hold and we'd pose her like she drank them all.
She was only 69 and in September was diagnosed with cancer and unfortunately on Christmas Eve she lost her battle. She was at home surrounded by family and she was at peace. The service was yesterday and it was lovely. Ruth made a recording for all to hear, it was touching and there was not a dry eye in the joint.
Something that touched me in her recording was she said "don't under estimate the smallest thing you do for someone, because those things are what typically make the biggest impact". You know she's right and I'm going to try and remember that daily!! Life is made up of small moments that really make life big and important.
