Rest in Peace, Aunt Anna.
When I was a kid, no matter what it was, you always came to the rescue. You spoiled me with attention (and gifts...those expertly wrapped yellow boxes), and you always had my back in life. You were like a Grandmother (or fairy godmother) to me, and nearly every childhood memory I have has you in it--hours spent at the park, walking through the garden, throwing coins in the fountain at the mall, your signature perfume, afternoons in your apartment (and lunchtime which somehow always included my favorite things like chocolate milk). You always celebrated my successes and supported me through my failures. My mom and I joked that you were like my Guardian Angel, and now, I guess you really are.
My heart aches that I wasn't able to speak to you before you passed, but know I was with you from across the miles, just as I know you're with me even right now as I'm writing this. You are missed and you are loved.
xoxo, Jenny
