Love Forever

She called me a princess. I use to change my clothing several times during the day when I went to visit on the farm, I would put the clothes for wash, she would just re fold them and return them to my suitcase. She was the first person to ask me to wash the dishes, she would laugh years later when describing to people how I used 2 long handled sponges to avoid touching the dirty water. When I was asked to vacuum one day, she came behind me and said " when you hear the dirt going up like that you need to stay in that place longer, till the noise is gone- that means it's clean". When she hugged me she meant it. I would tell people she was my favorite aunt because we had " almost the same name" even though she, like most in my family, called me Missy.

What I have learned over the past 2 years has been partly a result of her struggle and her strength. I have realized through her fight and my own that it is important to surround yourself with people who support you and not be afraid to let go of those who don't.

I will love her always and keep so many great memories close to my heart. She will always be my favorite.

Thank you to those who have sent their support and kind words to my family
