Today. June 13. Heather gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, Jovie. Heather and baby are doing fine, and I can't wait to meet the new little one.
Also today, June 13. Family tragedy- my Aunt Sandi died today. It was suicide, and I'm currently unable to completely register what has happened, or its finality. My main emotion right now regarding this is a kind of pissed off anger. How could she? Why would she? Wasn't there anything...
I don't know. We started the day with birth and ended it with loss. While I know the joy I felt this morning about learning the baby news, I still can't explain what I'm feeling with the latter. It's not quite real yet.
But I did think about my aunt today, briefly, for one moment this afternoon before I learned the news. Sparked, no doubt, by seeing the baby gift she'd given me for my baby shower a few weeks ago- which is now the last time I ever saw her.

That is really horrible news...Did she have a history of depression/mental illness? I am sorry that you have to deal with this at this time. This should be a time when you can concentrate on you, Chris and the baby. My prayers are with you and your family.

I am sorry for your loss, and the circumstances and timing that surround it. I agree with Michigan though, you have such an amazing point in your life happening right now, it's best to focus on that as much as you can, and let that tragedy be.
