I was one of the many that benefitted from the unconditional love and acknowledgement of Aunt Kathi. I also looked forward to her cards and cherished how thoughtful she was .
When I was little, I didn’t have the opportunity to grow up with my brothers. As an only child my kid brain remembers loving going to their house and the awesome chaos of a big family. My cousins had the coolest stuff to play with and cable!! I finally got to watch “You can’t do that on television” on Nickelodeon . Looking back now as an adult, I remember her always treating me the same as my cousins. I was always welcome, always loved .
And even as time went on with more time and space between those visits , that never changed.
Beautiful souls like her never do these things for the acknowledgment or for anything in return but I truly hope that she knew how much she was appreciated and the kindness she brought to my life .
