So I thought about my Aunt Ethel today and for a very long time I felt some kind of guilt because I was in the middle of a new chapter in my life I was starting high school making new friends and being a teen and I felt like before she left me I left her. For a long time this burst of sun was everything to me my best friend my protector the only woman besides my own mother that I thought was like a super hero and as I got older I felt like I let this fire become a small flicker. But I smiled not cried but smiled because I understood that I never left her behind but she pushed me foward cause she knew I could not always hide behind her night gown. She didnt leave me behind because when I laugh I hear her ,when I look in the mirror I see her brown skin and when I serve dinner I can taste her food. Even the loving way I treat my friends I do this because she taught me. I can finally speak freely and openly about the woman I loved because a lot of me I got from my mother but some of the good things I got from her too.
