I DECLARE MARCH 7th A HOLIDAY!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANGEL AUNTY! OUR PRECIOUS GIRL WOULD HAVE BEEN 89 YEARS YOUNG TODAY! HERE SHE IS WITH HER HUSBAND (MY LATE BELOVED UNCLE D) ON HER 80TH BIRTHDAY.... PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THE CROWN...THEY HAD BEEN MARRIED OVER SIXTY YEARS AT THE TIME OF THIS PICTURE! FOR HER GIFT THAT YEAR, I HAD JUST GIVEN HER A LITERAL PURPLE HEART...a lovely polished purle stone in the shape of a heart. I TOLD HER THAT SHE WAS THE BRAVEST AND MOST LOVING WOMAN I HAD EVER KNOWN. AT THE TIME OF HER 80TH BIRTHDAY (ABOVE) SHE HAD SURVIVED BREAST CANCER, THE UNTHINKABLE LOSS OF HER ONLY CHILD, AND THE PASSING OF MANY LOVED ONES OVER THE YEARS INCLUDING FOUR OF HER FIVE CHERISHED BROTHERS. YET, SHE CARRIED ON WITH A GENUINE SELFLESS HUMILITY, NEVER EVER EVER COMPLAINED, AND STILL MADE EVERYONE AROUND HER HAPPY..

IF YOU TRULY WANT AN UPLIFTING FEW MOMENTS SIMPLY SCROLL AROUND THIS BLOG FOR ANY POSTS PRIOR TO SEPTEMBER 2011. YOU WILL SURELY SEE ONE OF THE HAPPIEST, MOST LOVING AND KIND HUMAN BEINGS WHO EVER LIVED. SHE WILL FOREVER INSPIRE ME. LET HER INSPIRE YOU.

AND THEN THERE'S AUNTY...

When I first started this blog I was thinking of calling it Ageless with Jerry! Jerry is a hoot and he's cute too. But....then there's Aunty!

Here she is well into her eighties with her black hat, mirrored shades, and her version of the peace sign. How could I resist? Thus the name

Ageless with Aunty

she is the best part of who I am!
