I'm not sure how much, if any, of my dad's side of the family visits this blog, but I just wanted to write a quick post acknowledging the passing of my Aunt Sheila who had been corageously batteling lung cancer for the last 8 months and, sadly, lost that battle yesterday.
My heart goes out not only to Uncle Bill and Margot, who lost a wife and mother, but also to all the Gentiles (or formerly Gentiles) who lost a daughter/sister/friend. She will be missed.
Especially after missing Grandpa's funeral last year because I was in South Africa, I wish I could be there to help celebrate Aunt Sheila's life. Missing out on important events in family's and friend's lives is, by far, the hardest part of living abroad.
