T, I miss you so much. You were a wonderful Aunt, Great-Aunt, and friend. I am so glad that I got spend 31 years of my life with you. You were a wonderful influence. You taught me many great lessons, including patients, and acceptance. I am so grateful that you were around for the birth of my children. You really helped me with my transition into motherhood. Mia and Gabi were blessed to be loved by you, and I will make sure to keep your memory alive for them. I think about you constantly. Whenever the girls do something cute I think of how you would have gotten a kick out of them. Or whenever I find a good recipe I imagine us trying it together. I will miss baking with you on cozy winter days.You were the kindest person I have ever known. A truly beautiful person. I am afraid that you never really knew how cool that you were. I will love you forever.
