Just found out about Auntie's passing today. Wish things could have been different, but family relations aren't always simple and easy. Sometimes, they just leave you hurting and feeling very much unloved and confused. My beloved mother, Gussie, and Auntie (Auntie called my mom "T" and my mom called Auntie "Sustah") had the most complicated relationship I've ever seen two sisters have. Very difficult to have been in the middle of that through the years. With all of the pain and hurt though, I know they both loved each other deeply. Interesting that Auntie's funeral was on the anniversary of the day my mom passed away. Regardless of what happened between them during their lives, "Sustah" and "T" are together again.
