My Thank You!

I had an Aunt when I was a child, who cared and loved me so. She was a nurse in her life but, took care of her sister too. She'd come to baby sit us and tell us such great tales. How, she had candles on her tree and with candy and nuts and things they made. No one could imagine today what this tree was like but, oh the imagination I used to really see the sight. She lived in an apartment house with us and came always to call. She'd take us out and go shopping and never fail to call. We loved her like a Mother and she filled our hearts with love. Now, she was going blind and didn't get out much. I'd bring her stories to tell her and a Tape Recorder for fun. She was always giving and caring for us all. Yes, then she was all alone and we'd go there everyday. We found her under the bed when we came in that way. She was in the hospital for awhile, she said to look in a pillow at her home. She gave us money in it but, it was for her funeral. I miss that wonderful white haired lady who gave of herself in love. Giving up a life for her sister and taking care of us with love. I now think she is an Angel watching down over us in this world telling stories to the children who have might of lived or not in a precious life. My Thank You to you Aunt Frances for making my life felt loved and giving your love so deeply you learned from God up above.
