well
my aunt is dead
i suppose she's not really an aunt, technically, she's my father's cousin
was
so a second cousin? or a first cousin once removed, i don't remember how it works
i didn't even like her, especially, but there you have it
in case we need to put some faces and names to the statistics of this utterly avoidable scenario:
her name was dr. paulina harper
she was forty-seven
she taught women's studies at the university
once for my birthday she bought me a hat
i would very much like to know what sort of
research the IVF felt was so terribly vital
i'm exceedingly curious
