R.I.P. Aunt Wendy: I Miss You
Tue, 11 October 2011, 4:56 pm
On Sunday, October 9, 2011 at 3am, Wendy Sue Vosper lost her battle with Breast Cancer. Since the moment I found out about her situation almost 4 years ago I wished this would never come to pass. Her whole family did the little things to keep her spirits up, and we all awaited her every update on her condition on Carepages.com. In the end, the cancer spread to every place it didn’t belong, and put out the flame on a beautiful person. She was an inspiration long before cancer. With cancer defining her recent years, she became even more of a guiding light. She dealt with cancer in the most real of ways, being very honest with herself, her family and her friends of the victories of therapy and the crushing agony of repeated failed treatment. Throughout these times she had that beautiful smile.

She was well enough to even come up north from South Carolina to share her final Christmas with us. Christmas…that was Aunt Wendy’s holiday. NOBODY loved sharing it more than her.

I called her 2 weeks ago and we talked for an hour about life. She still had big plans and was happy to hear that so many of mine have come to fruition. Tonight we drive 13 hours to South Carolina to say our goodbyes. I’m looking forward to seeing her one last time. It just doesn’t seem fair really…because she’s gone too soon.
