My Babysitter Gave Me A Bath When I Was 12

It was Aunt Mary





born in 1921 and was the youngest of 9 siblings,
my grandmother and not expect to have more children when she came for delight parents and siblings, he soon became an orphan and was protected by his brothers.
He married very young, just turned 17 years old and very big boy enemore tall and broad that it almost went to war in the honeymoon.

But his much love returned safe and sound, had five daughters, she was devoted to the task of a mother who was so fond of, I know many mothers so happy to be so devoted to her husband, her home and her daughters as Aunt Mary.
as Aunt Ella was also wonderful, all the better.
remember those afternoons when he would visit her, I always received with great affection,
took me to the kitchen and opened those cans full of cookies or cakes, all made by her, it was impossible not eat it, they were delicious.
I wondered things you had to make confidences, I always advised baby, I scolded when necessary.
to me always remember the goose that gets under their wings to all the chicks themselves and others.

S and her daughters grew older, married, came the grandchildren, great-grandchildren, she was still the Tia Maria, was still the mother and grandmother who just wanted them all under their wings.
was still the wife who adored her Gilberto had never been separated from him and after 66 years he dies leaving together for the first time without his company.
And she as the only weapon of defense decided to forget everything.
He had no memory, do not know anyone, so do not suffer.


On Wednesday 22 she is gone with him, we said goodbye with regret but also with joy because we know that they are now together as they wanted. We missed your company, your joy, your advice, we lost a great woman a wonderful mother and no less wonderful aunt.
will always be in our memory
