11 years ago, I met a lady. She & I had an instant connection ~ she told me she could not get over how much I resembled her niece: in looks, in voice, & in laughter. Even our names were similar ~ 1 letter apart. We bonded. I called her Auntie. She introduced me to her husband & he was immediately my Uncle. She was only 10 years older than me, but that didn't matter, Aunt & Niece we were & remained until her death from cancer in March.
I only saw her twice a year when we attended festivus but it didn't matter. We were family. Family of the heart, not of the blood. I miss her.
Today is the only day that matters.
For yesterday has past.
And no one, can promise you a tomorrow.
So live this day, charishing each second,
Each minute,
Each memory.
Then, if we are blessed
With a tomorrow,
We will leave behind a happier yesterday.
