Fredericksburg Virginia is home to my aunt, my mom’s sister and my uncle. Growing up so far away we didn’t have opportunity to spend time together, but as an adult it has been fun getting to know them not just as aunt and uncle, but as friends. Every moment with them is wonderful and fun. They have a way of bringing out the laughter and silliness. My aunt, though she is much younger than my mom, reminds me of her in so many ways, and it brings comfort. Sometimes it can be in the way she says something or offers some gentle advice, other times it is her facial expressions or mannerisms. Each time I visit I feel like I had a moment with mom.
