Remembering

I spent this past weekend in New York City with my sister and my parents.  I went years ago and I've longed to go back.  When I was finally able to, it was with a heavy heart.  My dear Aunt Kathy passed away last week with a long and valiant battle with cancer.

Kathy was my step dad's sister.  She came into our lives when I was 16.  She has always been so great to my siblings and I.  Never treating us like the step kids.  

In the words of my (step) dad, Kathy was Kathy.  That's really the best way to describe her.  She was funny weather she meant to be or not.  She was larger than life.  She was over the top.  She was deeply devout in her faith. She loved her family above all else. I will miss her dearly.
