These words are written for my Aunt - who has asked me to be one of her pallbearers at her funeral....she assures me she isn't going anywhere yet but wants to get her affairs in order....I can't imagine her not being in my life.


My dearest Aunt
You bring me joy
You make me laugh
You are my strength when I am low
You show me love and never question why
You love me for who I am
I love you back with all my heart
Please don’t leave me too soon

Your Aunt may or may not be there at the time but she is picking someone she trusts to ensure she isn't hindered in her travels.

I appreciate your comments and your words, I'd feel a bit different but my sisters would ensure I was no where near as they did.

Love has a lot to do with her choice and you're returned it to her with these words.
It's always an honor to be asked, never a pleasure to fulfill, although we do - through love.
