Nessa

She died today. My mind is just wandering over the memories of her in my childhood.

Me, the little fat girl, whose head was always in a book.

Her, the fat and fabulous godmother who told me it wouldn't matter what people thought of me because I was strong and smart...a deadly combination.

Her personality would enter the room before she did. Always the largest one in the room, but also the one with the biggest heart.

I can still hear her laughter, big and bold reflecting who she was.

Educated and driven.

I can't believe she is gone. She knew me before I knew myself.

I hope you find peace Aunt Vanessa. I love you always.
