Thankful - Day 5

Today would have been my Aunt Vicki's 61st birthday. In honor of that, of course I shall blog about being thankful for her.

I guess if you're a frequent reader of my blog, it comes as no surprise that I love that woman with all my heart, and I miss her tremendously. She died of oral cancer in July 2010. But that, is not the most important thing about her.

Vicki was my guiding light. When my ship was lost in the dense fog of a dark night, she came in search of me and carried me into the open water. When good things happened to me, she was the first person I called to share my successes. My youngest daughter is her namesake. This blog is jumbled.... because there is far too much greatness to write about that I can't limit it to one blog post. I cannot incorporate the senses into words to allow you all to realize the whole person that she was, or the atmosphere she created with her presence.

To say that I'm thankful for Vicki, is an understatement. I was blessed with her! She was God's personal gift, crafted for me and placed in my life at all the right moments. I love her, and I miss her tremendously... Happy Birthday Vicki!
