mom’s sister. she lives in Indianapolis with her husband and youngest son. don’t see her very much even though she lives relatively close. after grandma passed away 20 years ago, mom’s side of the family kind of lost contact with each other. her and mom talk on the phone on rare occasions. mom says she’ll sometimes call when she’s drunk and talk forever.
despite not seeing them much I still love her and would like to rekindle things. she and her husband are in bad shape. her boys take care of them. they have a hard time going up and down steps so they rarely leave their condo.
mom says she is an alcoholic and will drink all day from sunrise to sunset. it’s really taken a toll on her health. she should know better, being a retired nurse and all. but I guess some people need their escapes.
mom has invited her down to family functions at their new place but she’s never able to make it. so we decided to go see her instead.
we’re planning on going later this week. she’s always been pleasant when we’ve visited. would like to see her before she passes on. she’s in her 70’s now, which is not that old but with the drinking you never know how long she’ll have. looking forward to it.
