So I found out a few hours ago that another member of my Mother's family, her cousin this time, passed away quite suddenly.
There was a time when I had felt close to that person, my Mother's cousin, but we had lost touch in the last few years. Mostly because of me, so consumed in grief for my own mother that reaching out to people just seemed trivial.
I admired her spirit, and her will to fight even at the worst of times. I am sorry she is gone, way too soon and too suddenly. I hope that she and my Mother are together, wherever they ended up.
