My birthdays just haven't been the same. Because I don't get them 12:01 am phone calls just so that you would be the first person to tell me happy birthday.  You never treated me differently than one of your own kids. I know what family means because of you. 

I remember one night I was really down and out. I remember aunt joni coming into my room asking what was wrong and after I got done telling her what was bothering me.  She looked me dead in my eyes and said if you dont remember anything else I ever say to you I want you to remember this one thing. 
Then she proceeds to tell me 
You are a queen your the only one that can stop your shine remember that your heart is to big and not everyone deserves your love. Then said chin up and give me a hug. I said thanks and she said the most beautiful part of me was my heart but my worst enemy because I wanted to save everyone and everything and couldn't and it got me down all the time. I sure miss our talks

I remember aunt joni coming home from the neighborhood's house she was drunk. I remember asking her if she was drunk and joni replied nope cause that means I would have drank and I didn't drink I ate my zert. All I could do is laugh.
