my aunt passed away

my aunt passed away.  it was a long time coming.  she was the eldest sister of a family of seven.  i hadn't really grasped the situation due to my personal issues and only now am i revisiting emotions that feel forced to evoque. i know my dad was very upset and i didn't know how to communicate with him about that on top of other issues.  and so like the typical asian family, we didn't say anything.
