Aunt Pat

My Aunt Pat is the most beautiful person I know.  She is kind, caring, compassionate and  funny. 
This evening, Jill and I got to go up and spend a wonderful evening with her.  We talked, had a great dinner, and played one of my favorite card games - GOLF.  
Despite all that is going on in Aunt Pat's life, she still asks about how I'm doing and she thinks of the smallest details in my life to ask about them. 
I cannot think of a more selfless, wonderful person than my Aunt Pat.  I remember how she was so welcoming to me when I joined the family by inviting me up to her home for dinner and taking the time to learn all about me, while telling me the funniest stories about the family.  I was nervous about how I'd fit in and how to act around all these new people, but she put me at ease immediatly.  She cared about everything that I had to say about my life.  I couldn't believe it because I was barely interested in the things I was telling her, but she took such an active interest. 
A few years back, I was fortunate enough to be inducted into an honor society when I was going through Grad School.  Aunt Pat was there to share this special moment with me (as were several members of Jill's family).  She was as proud of me as if I had known her my whole life.  My parents lived too far away to attend, so Aunt Pat and Uncle Gus came and looked after me like any parent would.  They made the night really special for me.
I love you, Aunt Pat!  I think you're GREAT!
