I'm Sorry...

Lesley

Dear auntie,
I miss you. I'm sorry I didn't visit you for 5 years. I'm sorry I never said I love you. I didn't visit you when you were in the hospital because I didn't want to see you like that. I didn't go to your funeral. Why? I couldn't stand the fact that the last time I would see you, You would be in a coffin. I'm sorry auntie. I love you so much.
Love,
Tu flaca


My story:
Summer of 2005 I went to visit my auntie, I was 5.
I loved it I had so much fun.We went to the beach, went to rivers,took a walk through town. We left to go back home. Years pass by and my auntie calls us to see how we are doing. She asks me the same question every time, "when are you coming to visit?" I always said "Soon." She always sent us Jewelry, clothes,cheese (yum) and love. One day my auntie calls my mom and says "It's hot here sister I have a headache" They finish talking. May 31,2011 my mom gets a call that my auntie got sick. She goes to Mexico for an emergency and I stay here in the US praying for my auntie to get better. Turns out she had a hemorrhage in her brain. They do surgery and they put a tube thing to try and stop the blood. I get a call...My auntie was brain dead. I sobbed. My mother was devastated. We pray even harder. I get another call on the morning of June 13,2011. My auntie had passed away that morning. My mom wants me to fly there for her funeral. I refused because I wanted to remember my auntie when she was alive. The thing that made me sad and devastated was that on around May I went to visit my grandpa because he gotten sick. I come back and talk to my auntie and she said "I heard you were coming to Mexico and I thought you were coming to visit me that's why I bought you a dress and shoes" That broke my heart "I visited my grandpa because he was sick" "when will you visit me?" "This summer vacation" That was the last phone call I got from her.To this day I regret not visiting her and it has been 9 months and 6 days since she passed away.I want to pass a message...Tell everyone you love them...You never know when it will be too late....
