Yesterday we went to visit my Aunt at her very posh retirement home. For the past 15 years she and my uncle went to Florida for the winter. This year there is a huge icicle hanging outside her window and everything is covered in snow. She has her apartment decorated for the season with snowmen, Santa and an assortment of paintings. Lunch was at the "Country Store" because it has always been a favorite of ours. We took a ride past the "old" house. Everywhere we went there were memories. As we were leaving, my Aunt stood at the door and waved goodbye. I was filled with a feeling of sadness because I know how life can change in an instant. There are so many memories swirling around in my mind and it's difficult to make sense of it. I am grateful that we can still visit my aunt and share our precious memories together.
