Mortality

I found out today that my aunt has lung cancer and has been given 3-6 months to live. I'm not close with her or anything but it's still pretty shocking. I usually only ever see her at family occasions like weddings and funerals and such, and I'd usually have a buzz with her while out for a cigarette.

I realised that the next funeral I go to will probably be hers. And somehow I don't think the smokers in my family will be buzzing as much as usual.
