Auntie


Our auntie was a lot of things….but she was always there we you needed her….to everyone else she was penny, gloria but to us she was our auntie always would be our auntie…..but it feels like a blur….like I just can’t believe you are gone….I wish at the time I wasn’t so withdrawn from the world…And didn’t come to see you…I wish I was there to help with what you was going through …I just want you to know no matter what I will always appreciate the things you did  for us…even when you would start fuss and cuss lo…..I know you wasn’t perfect but you was an amazing mother, grandma, aunt, and sister…..That we will deeply missed….I wish it didn’t have to end like this…. thinking about the amazing memories I have of you…thank you for giving us a chance to experience what other kids got  to do…every  Christmas you made sure we stayed with the latest toys ….I’m our darkest days you gave us joy…..always made sure we had the best….the only kids on the block with pea coats and alligator shoes….sitting crying got me feeling the blues…I’m really ready to just breakdown….but I know your finally can rest now…
