A happy birthday "shout-out", as they say on the radio, to my Aunt Laura. Truly the best aunt a gal could have. No, really, this woman actually moved to Milwaukee to be close to me and the kids. This was before the demise of my marriage. And, god bless her, she braved the frozen tundra in Wisconsin for as long as she could. I am convinced my family, including myself, are people not born to live in such relentless cold. So, sadly, my aunt moved back to California and then back to Oregon...all much warmer destinations. But she didn't move before I realized what a special heart she has. I was so happy to have that short time to actually get to know her as a person, rather than just an "Aunt". So today, Aunt Laura, here's to you! Thank you for being there for me and for being such an amazing person. We all love you!
