Seven or Eight years ago my aunt had a double lung transplant. She was on the waiting list for a long time. In the last several months her body has gone into sudden remissive rejection. She's been taking treatments that suppress her immune system to try and make her body stop the rejection, but they are not going well. The last I heard with the lack of effect they are having she has been thinking for stopping them.

This particular aunt is both a hero and anti-hero to me. She's more assertive and straight forward than I am, and to this day she intimidates the hell out of me. I love her for it as so few people actually can do that to me.

Whatever she decides to do and whatever time she has left, be it weeks or months or just maybe years, I want them to be comfortable and happy for her. If you pray, I wouldn't mind you saying a couple for her.
