the summer i was 14, my aunt kathy took me my first real excursion, a cruise to the caribbean. docking in st. thomas, we spent hours shopping, eating, and walking along the shore. mostly just walking.after what seemed to be about 8 hrs or so we thought it would be a good idea to turn around and head back. at that very instant of us turning around my aunt kathy dropped to the ground. in one deep breath she said to me, " this is the way i wanted to die" and then she slipped away from my grip. i always thought that GOD took her right then and there and she felt so at ease. love you aunt kathy.

wow, tragic, yet peaceful
