Aunt C

I love Aunt Carol very much, but I am not close to her the same way. It's SUPER FUN to mess around with her, but she is very much more reserved than even the reserved Pee Pee. So you won't get many details this time, but this girl has carried her fair share on her shoulders too.
She was married to Jack, and they had 2 children, Kelly and Kerry. Jack's family carries heart disease in the males only. This will be important later. I believe that They were divorced before he passed away, but he did pass away. Everyone does, but the boys on that side of the family don't make it very long at all- especially if they drink and/or smoke. i don't know how old Jack was, but he wasn't old. I think he was in his 40's. His dad wasn't any older when he passed away.
Anyways, Kelly is 11 years older than I am, and Kerry was 5 years older. I love my cousins. I get to see Kelly this weekend. She's one of my favorite people ever. Caorl ahd a boyfriend for some time. I didn't know him well, but I do know that he had a heart attack and passed away years ago. That was AFTER Grampa passed away (he's her dad, too, as well as Pee Pee's, and moms). Do you see the horrible ending to this? She lost her boyfriend, her dad....and if it's going to match Pee Pee's story...
I'm very sad to say that at 35 years old, Kerry had a heart attack and died also.
He has 2 sons.
I want to yell as loud as I can to them "PLEASE, PLEASE BABIES, PLEASE BE GOOD! YOUR TIME IS TOO SHORT! YOU DON'T KNOW HOW FAST THIS IS GOING TO GO! PLEASE BE GOOD TO YOURSELVES! PLEASE!" I want to scoop them up (they are 18 and 16, by the way. HAHAHA! Who's getting scooped up?) and take them in and shake them right. They are struggling to make their way through the most impossible seeming circumstances and they don't see how short their time is. Who does when you're a teenager, surrounded by all and any of the non sense that you could want or not want? It makes my heart feel sad that there's very little I can do to stop them/help them from doing what they are going to do. It's frustrating. I have to rememeber that we're all on our own path and that in the end, they are okay and will be okay. None of this is real.

So- how's that for another tough cookie? I don't have the first clue how they do it, how they've done it, or how they continue to do it. Maybe Love really can help float people?
