Goodbye Aunt Kay
My aunt passed away on Saturday.
My wife and I drove down to Kentucky to attend the memorial service on Wednesday.
I saw my cousins, whom I hadn't seen since I was about seven years old. My aunt had adopted two boys when they were 12 and 10, rescuing them from a household of abuse. And if you would ask her, she would proudly (and perhaps loudly) proclaim that "these are my sons!" They were there with families of their own, who shared fond memories of their adopted mother.
She was a woman with a lot of heart and passion and she will be missed.
