Over the weekend I learned the sad news that my Aunt Judy, my dad's beloved sister, passed away. Judy had been ill for years and, while her passing was not a shock, I am saddened by the news. Even though the news was sad, I couldn't help but smile when I envisioned my Dad and Judy reunited. My Dad would be so very happy to be with her again!
Judy lived an extraordinarily full life, filled with travel adventures and an amazing friend network. Our family is in a holding pattern until Janet, her partner of more than 50 years, makes the funeral arrangements. In the next few days I know I will be traveling to the Pittsburgh area for her services.
It is odd to know that Judy was the final link to my Dad and she is now gone. While we were not close throughout my life, her passing marks the end of those paternal connections. Sigh. I really don't like change!
