The Worst Month

Last month I lost two very important people to me. My grandfather died the 9th and my aunt the 29th.
So this is obviously a very tough time for the family.
I learned so much from my grandfather. I always came from grandma and grandpa's house knowing more than I did before. I cherished that. He taught me chess, he taught me a lot about flowers, he was always talking about bugs and how they were the food of the future (so much protein!). I am so happy I got a nice crab meal with him, my aunt and grandma this summer. It was so nice. We sat in the garage and just inhaled the crabs.
He took us out to sea sometimes when we were kids and we had mackrell and potatoes made on the boat. He made up fairytales for me when we were over, he tended a huge garden we played in loads, he sang so much to us. He always had good advice. I am going to miss him.

My aunt, she cared for us like we were her own, so we had a very special connection to her. I remember visiting her in Oslo as a kid, and we visited Holmenkollen, went to the technical museum, the one with all the rocks and all sorts of fun stuff like that. We always had an adventure when visiting her. She was always so full of life and joked and laughed so much. We had so much fun with her. She really cared for us.
When we were confirmated (that religious rite, still not 100% sure it's called that in English) she always made a lot of sound and riled everyone up by making us dance and blow up balloons and stuff like that. She was so much fun. I am going to miss her.

I can't believe I lost them both. I still haven't understood that I'll never speak to them again, never see them again or ever laugh with them again.
I love them both so much. I am just glad they are both in a better place now.

https://kreftforeningen.no/stott-kreftforeningen/ I am linking this as I know they would both appreciate it if anyone would support that cause. I know not many people read this, if any at all, but I don't care. It's up here now.
Such a shit disease. I hope they find a cure soon so nobody else has to go through the crap they went through. Brave, strong people.
