Death is a subject that many people do not care to talk about. Talking about, or even thinking about death gives me chills or makes me instantly sad, nervous, nostalgic and anxious at the same time.
Yesterday morning, I got word that my Aunt Selina of Baton Rouge passed away. In case you didn’t know, I was born in Lafayette, Louisiana and lived in Baton Rouge for a few years. My father is a Baton Rouge native and half of my family lives there. Even though I don’t get to visit as much as I would like, I am still deeply connected to them and my Creole heritage. Social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram help make the distance feel shorter.
