We get together with my extended cousins for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day each year. We have done this for years because my grandmother loved having all her family around. And then her daughter, my aunt, was awesome about having everyone over for a meal. After my grandparents died and then my parents died, and their siblings died, all the grandkids and our families adopted our aunt as the matriarch of the family. Everyone loved my aunt because she was fun and bubbly and kind. My aunt died this year and it’s been sad watching her kids fight with each other over sorting out her jewelry, taking turns caring for their very lonely dad, and dividing up the family business. My other cousins and I already went through this when our parents died but now that our beloved aunt is gone, it’s sad watching her kids fight and hurt each other.
just so sad.
