Vintage Weekly: My Sweet Aunt

my aunt Billie Rae
dressed up for the wedding 
of her younger brother

She was a marvelous friend as well as an aunt
for she was only five years older than I.
I miss her sweetness and her long
'chapter' letters which would begin
on one day and be continued on another day,
and sometimes sustained for days.

I wish that I had kept all of them,
but I do have the one she wrote to me 
just days before Charles and I married in 1958.

I wish I had more photos of my relatives, but we didn't take many when I was growing up. And now most of them are on a different continent!
