My Great Aunt Hilda
July 29, 2009 Whether bound by blood or friendship, many of us have grown up in the company of a beloved aunt. These are the women who love us — unconditionally and by choice. They are our friends, confidantes, and role models, and they offer us love, wisdom, and a valuable perspective on life.
My Aunt, the only sister of my father, who is chronically ill is presently at ICU. My cousin and her family, who lives with her, has been with her at the hospital keeping her company. Knowing my Aunt is in pain and in critical condition is just terrible in itself. I can feel that my father is also worrying. We were informed that they will be checking out soon from the hospital and will just going to take care of my aunt at home.
When we were small, we regularly visited her during vacations or special occasions. We got up in the morning whatever time we wanted and there always breakfast on the table prepared for us by our aunt.
She is not like other aunts you see today. She is different than others, she is great and loving and caring and kind and sweet and just good aunt.
I’m doing the best that I can through prayers. I tried to keep things in perspective.
