LOL I only had one aunt- I didn’t know her well.

I wonder what she would have thought of the Internet.She died when I was in my thirties. Although she’d been absent from my life for some time, I felt the loss freshly. But I needed to be there. He was quiet and gentle. Other black schools followed the example, though probably not with as much success. Images of the character Aunt Minerva. Twin births could be detected – but not always.

They were real characters too and strangely, like your aunt, mine was really quirky and off-beat too. Aunt Minerva was a crimelady who has been stopped by Captain Marvel multiple times.. History. It smelled like cats and cigarettes. I enjoy riddles, not just because they are fun to figure out, but also because they take me back to my childhood, where new riddles and trick question were always asked with much glee. I came across her obituary while reading the paper at work, and crumpled.

We’d play an 8-bit hamburger game on her little TV and eat potato chips and drink soft drinks (which weren’t as accessible at home). I remember him being quite tall and very thin – but very strong. I regret that she died without me having a chance to tell her what an impact she had. I’m sad you missed so many years with her and telling her how you felt, but I’ll bet she knew.Such a beautiful post about your Great Aunt…I’m so sorry you were separated when you were older…Very true. Thank you for the hugs (and nope – just once).

She had a very old game system…I can’t even remember what it was. thanks for reading! I felt that absence as a child, and even more so once I had my own kids. I slipped in to her funeral, leaving before the end so as to avoid any scene. There are parts of my childhood and adulthood I regret (even though I try to live with no regrets). I loved it.Thank you for reading Shirley. When she learned how to drive, well into her sixties, it was a bit scary because she’d get distracted fairly easily.

She was very good with my father and his sister – a godsend to my Gran after her husband died. As they died, one by one, it was like losing part of my heritage.

She was so tired, when asked what his name was, she asked what the Doctor’s name was. Always saw the bright side – although with her own little quirk.
