Her actions spoke volumes
I am so blessed to have had my Aunt Theresa...I can't remember life without her. She was always there. We were lucky to have a family that always got together for everything..birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, communions, Sunday dinners, and just because. And Aunt Theresa was right there ...making those memories special. I remember being a little girl and spending so much time with her in that wonderful apartment in Grandma and Grandpa's house. I just loved being around her. Aunt Theresa was so glamorous when she got dressed...always looked so beautiful. I remember wanting to be like her and loving her long nails and pretty hair. Everything always matched so perfectly. I love how she made me feel when I was a little girl....like such a very special part of the family. That's how she treated us as we grew up. She was happy to be around us and proud to be our aunt. I felt that. I remember how she took such good care of grandma and grandpa and my dad. I am grateful for her devotion and love for them. She gave her whole self to them..her time, her energy, and her unending love. It was a beautiful thing to witness. I am proud to have had the chance to see that amazing unconditional love. I had Aunt Theresa for my whole life, but it just wasn't enough. I wasn't finished needing her and learning things from her. My heart breaks that I will not have any more moments to share with her. She will be in my heart always.
