Cancer, it brings people together, instead of tearing them apart

This will be extremely short, my battery's about to die. Die, what a funny word. Not really. For some it's joyous for others, well, not so joyous.
My aunt is not supposed to live another 24 hours. She's supposed to be dead by this time tomorrow. And I know that's really blunt. But it's what the doctors have told us.
Please keep her in your prayers. Pray that she can go quickly. She can barely talk without bursting into tears from the pain.
And especially keep my mother in your prayers. She probably won't be able to say goodbye. We're not sure when Mom will be able to fly out. But if us kids have our way she'll be on an airplane within the week at the latest. And keep my extended family and my family in your prayers. We just lost our grandfather (my aunt's and mother's father) to prostate cancer last year. But this is so very different, she had what seemed like most of her life ahead of her.
Love to all, hope everyone who reads this is safe and knows how much they love one another. And I hope you're never afraid to tell someone that you love them.
