RIP 2

my great-aunt died this morning. she'd been in a coma for a few days and didn't want to wake up, so lucky for her that she didn't despite the doctors best efforts. it's a terrible loss for me - as i've already said, although i didn't see her that often, she was a really important person in my life. i'm so glad we managed to meet back in August.

i'll miss her so much... and the worst is that she's given her body to science and specified she didn't want any kind of ceremony to take place; so nothing will, which saddens me immensely. i can't believe i'll never see her again, talk to her about absolutely anything, laugh at her anecdotes about the exciting life she had when she was younger. and the smell of her flat. her cheerfulness. she was so lovely...
