Aunt Josie took me in for a long stay when we were young helping out my parents during my mom’s illness. Those days impacted me until today she was so great and i used to goof around to make her laugh she always laughed at my shenanigans i loved to make her laugh thats what ill remember most was that kindness and understanding later in life. So compassionate see ya in a bit
