I had not seen her in years
Her hair was gray
Though it had always been that way
At least to me
You see
Her face was lined and aged
Her glasses long gone away
Her eye sight remained true
And she still knew
Who she was talking to
But now she’s gone
Though not alone
She’s preceded by others she loves
And now she’ll be born away
Upon the wings of doves
My aunt passed away August 1, 2015 in the late afternoon, though we did not hear of it until the following Sunday. She’s my mother’s only sister and though they had not been close for a number of years, we had started visiting with her more in the last few years when my cousin Rebecca died. Mom was able to visit her sister one last time before she passed.
No matter what has happened in the past, she was my aunt.
I’m sorry for your loss!
