Out of pocket

My aunt has been fighting a horrific battle with pancreatic cancer, and she has reached her limit. Pancreatic cancer takes no prisoners. Oh, how she has suffered. Death will be an end to her suffering, but I feel so sad for her children and grandchildren. She has four children, and her daughter, who is my age and is an RN, is exhausted from the drain of watching her mother die this excruciating death and being her nurse since she was sent home to die a few weeks ago. I can't imagine. My parents are there, and my mom called a few minutes ago. She said that my aunt is losing body temperature, and they feel like the end is very close. I will drive to West Texas for the funeral and come back in one day if possible-whenever the time comes. PDaddy has a slammed calendar this week, so I'll need to be back as soon as possible. Anyway, say a prayer for my Aunt Mary Lou. For her family.
