Dealing With A Death In The Family...

Last Thursday evening my Aunt Jylle lost her fourteen month long battle with cancer. She passed away in her home with family, including my sister, around her. Unfortunately she passed while my cousin Nick (Who was one of her step-children) and I were out picking up dinner for the family, so neither of us got to say goodbye as she left this Earth. I'm okay with it. Nick and I obviously weren't meant to be there and I had spoken to her before leaving the house.

I just wanted to write a little something about it. I'll probably write some more about it in the near future because I spent all of last week helping my family out before and after she passed.

NOTE: This wasn't taken during my aunt's funeral, this is picture I took a long time ago.

Friday's Letters...

Dear Bed: I miss you and need more time with you.

Dear Day: I hate you because I still have that A$AP Rocky song stuck in my head. #IGotAProblem

Dear A: You are the best cousin ever!

Dear Library: Sometime I think I'm too fabulous for you. So you better treat me right!

Dear Right Leg: You can really stop hurting me now. You're becoming a problem.

Dear "Leslie": Thank for e-mailing me that picture of "Julia" passed out on the couch in the staff room with stains on her clothing. It made me crack up.

Dear Other A: I am jealous of your fifteen-year-old-self for having Backstreet Boys tickets and backstage passes. Just thought you should know because my inner twelve-year-old hates you a little bit.

Dear Justin: I think you've been extra amazing this week and want the World to know.

Dear Cancun: See you in twenty-one days!

Dear McMoose: You're drunk. Go home!

Dear Readers: Thank you for being amazing. Have a great weekend.

Fourth Of July Fire Island Style In Instagram...

Yesterday I spent my Fourth of July on Fire Island (Which for those of you that don't know, is the large center island of the outer barrier islands adjacent to the south shore of Long Island, New York) in both The Pines and Cherry Grove with a bunch of my friends. We hung out at the beach, watched the invasion of the drag queens, drank, ate, hung out at various spots, etc. It was a lot of fun and here it is in Instagram for you all to see...

 

 I hope you all had a happy and healthy fourth! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
