My Aunties

Yesterday, my Aunt Lourdes under went surgery to have her gallbladder removed. It was making her so sick and put her in a lot of pain. She is also about 3 months pregnant with a child that she has been waiting for, for a long time. She has been in poor health since being pregnant and I am very worried for her and the baby. She is in her early forties and statistically the later in age you have children the more likely something can go wrong. Or so I've been told. I pray she makes a full recovery, and that she and the baby will be alright. I'm very hope full that all will turn out okay.

Now regarding my other Aunt. I was told this week that she was diagnosed with breast cancer. I'm in total shock. I don't think it's really set in yet actually. She's the sweetest lady you'll ever meet. She is so giving and does everything for her family. One of my earliest memories of her is when she was teaching me to make tortillas and feeding the animals on my Abuelito and Abuelitas farm. I cherish that memory. It's one of my favorites I really don't know what else to say about this. Other than the fact that, I love her so much, and I am praying and praying that she'll win her battle.
