Memories of my Aunt , Diane..
I went today with my cousin to the cemetary where my aunt and uncle are buried.
My memories of her are:
* Her chasing me and my cousins around with her flip flop in hand threatening to spank us at my grandparent's house when we were little.
* Spending the weekends at her house going shopping and out to eat.
* Spending time with her and family and friend at the old beachhouse in the summers.
* Spending time with her and my uncle to keep them distracted so they wouldnt cry when they all new it was the last christmas they would spend together wrapping gifts.
* Helping my aunt and supporting her emotionally all I could after my uncle died.
* Feeling soo protective of her after he passed away.
* Going on that HORRIBLE vacation trip driving to Tennesee and back with her and my grandma and my mom. lol
* Her bright red hair, eccentric style of dressing ,her loud mouth and her STRONG texas accent.
* The time she spent the week at my house with me ,my daughter and ex-husband.
* Decorating and planting plants at my uncles grave and walking around looking at other's stones many many times.
* The stupid haunted table she gave me lol
* Going to her wedding to my other uncle in my Navy uniform, how pretty and happy she was then.
* My babyshower we had at her house .. she made me drink my punch out of a babybottle (w/o the nipple)
* The way she did that imitation of Mr. Hanky from southpark after her neck surgery messed up her voice.."HIIIIIIIDEEEY HO!!" lol (i can hear her now haha)
* The very first time I visited her house at the lake(which she asked me to visit many times) and her saying her stomache hurt (she thought she caught that bacteria in the water in the lake) and her having a fever and laying down.
* Being told she had cancer and knowing that I was there when it first started bothering her.
* The long talks we had about my uncle (her first husband)
* The time .. not long after my wreck .. when i went to see her in the Cancer Unit and her telling me about the mustard seed turning into a huge tree and if she just keeps the hope of the tiny mustard seed.
* Going to thr hospital to see her in ICU four days after my birthday..showing her my uncles ring i finally got sized to wear and seeing it make her smile...when she got mad and told us to leave.. telling her through my tears that Iloved her and hearing her say "I love you too"
*cries* sigh..
* Watching her take her last breaths the next day as she slipped away.. rubbing what was left of her bright red hair ..whispering to her that my uncle Gary was waiting for her.
I love and miss you, Diane.
