Well I reconnected to an Aunt today that I haven't seen in a very long time. I am close with both sides of my family and it had bothered me that I hadn't seen Aunt Patty in quite a while. She lives in a home and has manic depression and schizophrenia . Recently she had gotten sick and I don't like to admit it but that brought on some guilt. My Mom, Aunt Joyce, Aunt Linda and I went to the group home to have a little visit and when I walked out of there I felt like I had a new Aunt. No doubt it's hard to see her like that, she is very thin, not very talkative and her sickness has taken a toll on her but somewhere in that beautiful soul of hers, she let me in. And it felt SO great. When I was younger she had given me a hemp bracelet with pretty little pink beads in it, this bracelet has shown up with perfect timing and reminds me daily as I wear it that no matter what I do, there is always someone who has made a difference in my world.
Thank you Aunt Patty, I missed you.
