Curious if anyone has bucket list items they actually plan on doing. I don't know if I do or if I just have fantasies of what I'd like to do someday.
I've always wanted a dramatic exit from somewhere. I want to blow up and quit a job, knock things off my desk, etc. I love the idea of being thrown out of an event after doing something wild, like ruining a wedding, but I don't think these count. I have no plans on actually doing them before I kick it.
That's awesome, I wish that I had learned to quilt from my grandma while she was alive. Quilts are great gifts and heirlooms, I still have the quilt that she made for me when I was born. I'm sure you visiting her would mean a lot to your aunt, not just because she'd get to spend time with you (which I'm sure would be meaningful in itself), but also because you'd be showing her that you value something that she's good at and cares about. Honestly, it's kind of silly, because I don't know either of you, but the thought of you visiting and learning from your aunt makes me happy. We treat older people in the U.S. so fucking callously and disrespectfully, which makes me really sad and angry, so it warms my heart to see younger people giving a shit about their older relatives.
