What kind of aunt did I have ?
It was indeed a nice reunion since no explanations or arguments was made - we just saw each other and hugged - but , the reason for the reunion is something that I would n't wish to happen ever again . Despite the tears and pain of losing " auntie - second mom , " I am still thankful that she did n't suffer a painful experience before she finally went home . I know , she is now pain free and happy with Jesus in heaven . But , in my selfish state of feeling and mindset , I wished she 's still here with us ... But God 's ways are far better than ours - He knows what 's best for all of us ... right now , I just have to think that " aunt - second mom " is real happy in heaven .

Why ca n't I order mayo on my sandwich ?
There 's this place near school called American Heroes which makes an amazingly good turkey sub . They have a wheat bread that 's REALLY good , kind of a savory herb - y wheat , as opposed to most places which offer a honey wheat . I figure if I get a 7 inch turkey sub on the wheat , no mayo , lettuce , cucumbers , banana peppers , spinach , oregano , black pepper , oil and vinegar , and a little Monterey Jack cheese , it 's actually pretty good for you . My weight is holding steady at 297 at the moment , but I ' m not that discouraged .
