I am so, so happy to hear about your aunt. She really has been in my thoughts recently, in that 'I hope everything is okay for my friend' kind of way.

And I was like, hey, the bay? Like the Bay Area? Because I know many people in the area and could see visiting down there one day -- but then I remembered you don't live in this time zone, and your journal reads New York. So, bully on that. >D
