I spoke with Mom this morning. Aunt Donna's heart is misfiring causing blood clots to flow throughout her system. She is scheduled for a very delicate open heart surgery on the 20th of October. The Dr. did not pull any punches and said she may or may not make it to the surgery or through the surgery. Mom is going to visit Salt Lake from the 18th till the 22nd in order to be there for Aunt Donna. Donna May, Mom told me to tell you about this, you are at work at your new job and she did not want to cause any trouble by calling you there. She did want you to know, since her and Dad will be coming that weekend and will likely stay with you guys at some point. Anyway, please everybody keep Aunt Donna in your prayers. The Doctor also said this is what the heart does when it is failing near the end of someone's life. It doesn't look too good for her. Although she has had several close calls before. I love you girls!! I told Mom I would give you all the heads up. Have a great day, Love you!
Laurie

Oh no! That's terrible news, we'll keep her in our prayers, I hope it works out to where she is just fine and lives another 20 years. Whe really has tried over the years to be kind to us. She came to my wedding, Josh's funeral etc. I really love her and wish we were closer with our extended family (O.K. maybe not uncle ron or markie) JK.
I hope all of our kids are close though, I don't want to be the kind of Aunt, Aunt Joyce is to us and I want our cousins to be close ya know?
That's supposed to be "she" not "whe", yes I should really check my spelling before hitting send.
At first I thought you said that you wanted to be the kind of Aunt that Aun Joyce is. I don't get that pitting your kids against eachother and coldness she always showed to us kids. I sure love all of my neices and nephews, (at least the ones I know). I know she loved us but boy was she poor at showing it, it almost felt more like she tolerated us in order to be close to Mom. Kind of sad really. At least Aunt Donna made more of an effort. I do hope she dodges this bullet too. She seems too fiesty to be going down so young. Kind of scary with the hereditary heart thing.
Sorry for finding fault with Aunt Joyce, I just don't get it and never really have. I am glad our family is not that way with eachother.
Yeah, I don't get it either. I wish she would have shown us a bit more interest too and that's the exact feeling I always felt.
But don't tell Mom, she gets defensive. I don't think she gets it either.
She did call me a few years back when I was going to have Sarah or Saige on the cover of Memory Makers magazine and asked me when it was coming out so she could buy the issue. She said she always looked for me in her scrapbook magazines and thought my kids were adorable. That's the first time I've heard from Aunt Joyce in a long time and the only time I remember her talking too me.
That is because you were (in the immortal words of Teresa Collins) a scrapbook celebrity. That is a whole new ballgame for her I guess. JK, I think she really was proud of your success. I'm glad she was sweet to you about it. Again, I shouldn't judge, I just didn't get it.
