Always in My Heart



Mother's Day is just around the corner and last night I was thinking about someone who is very near and dear to me and always in my heart. She is not my mother, but has been more than a mother to me. She is actually my mother's cousin, making us 2nd cousins. I call her Aunt, but consider her to be much more than that. She has been my best friend, my confidante, and I would gladly call her mom. I think about her all the time and I love it when we talk for hours on the phone. She tells me everything that is going on in her life, and believe me she is a very busy lady! In our conversations she will tell me what shoes she is wearing with what outfit. What jewelry she will wear to a particular occasion and she describes in great detail the occasion. She is all about fashion and this is one of the many things I love about her. Age has not stopped her from being a fashionista, therefore, she is my idol!

When I was a young girl I really did idolize her. I thought she was a movie star and looked like Katherine Hepburn. I would love to spend the night at her home because she had rootbeer for breakfast. In the 50's I think only movie stars even thought about drinking rootbeer or coke for breakfast!

In later years I've come to know how generous a person she is. She gives her heart and friendship fully to everyone around her. She has a giving spirit and asks nothing in return. I tell her all the time that there is a special place in heaven for her.

I've been really lucky to have such a wonderful and special person in my life and I will be letting her know this Mother's Day.

  1. I had one of those aunts as well! Actually a few. Such great memories.

    I remember getting in trouble as a child with my grandmother. She wanted me to try something called an Ice Cream Soda. I just couldn't fathom the two together and knocked the glass into the sink when she went to the bathroom. If I had continued to not like them, maybe I wouldn't need Weight Watchers. LOL
