Every child should have a home to visit where all rules are null and void. Where jumping on the bed with the dogs at 3am is acceptable, reese cups for breakfast a given, jabbing elbows and knees tolerated, and learning to drive is done in the lap of an unconventional aunt hurtling down the interstate. The total adulation I had for my aunt as a child grew into a beautiful friendship that went beyond "family".
So my Christmas wish this year is that my aunt (in this next phase of her journey) is enjoying herself as usual and is heeding the advice she always gave me growing up: "Be good! And if you can't be good, don't get caught!!"
P.S. Vince (a.k.a Freckle-Butt) sends his love to you, Marshmellow-Head!
Never one to watch life from the sidelines . . . .
