SPRING BREAK
...but I still have some battery left!!
When aunt Rosemary would feel like talking, she'd tell uncle Bobby to get me on the phone. One day I had gotten some of my voice back and she was feeling good so she called me. We talked about old memories and funny things that we'd done and just enjoyed our conversation. My mom (Mary Ann) came through the house 4 hours later and said, "Are you guys still on the phone?". :) I told mom that I still had some battery left so we kept on talking and laughing. We had a good time that day. She was so excited about the family cookbook and we had a lot of planning to do.
I'm so thankful that I got to have this relationship with my aunt Rosemary and I will miss it. But I will always treasure the times we had.
Love You, Renee'
