On January 3rd 2021, I learned that my aunt had passed away from the colon cancer that she had been diagnosed with just around a year before.

She was only 62. My dad texted me to let me know, although not the best way to receive news like that. It wasn’t unexpected, of course, but it was a shock that it was so sudden.
