I was blessed to go to Germany one summer and just knew I had to see Aunty Sarah while there. I was only there 3 short days, but she jam-packed it with such fun, laughs and joy. I begged her to take me to Berlin and Aunty Sarah dropped everything she was doing, made plans, cleared her schedule and made it a point to not only take me to the Berlin Wall, but also to some of really nice shops which she knew I would like. We chatted along the train ride. I asked her so many questions about her life and life in general. I admired her because I saw her as a gracious, beautiful, generous and humble person who was always so kind. I admired that, and always wanted to tap into that.
I am grateful for the time she has been in my life and that got to experience some of her light. I am grateful that she came to my graduation, just some of the memories with her that I will always cherish. I am grateful that we were able to talk like friends although she was much older than me. I will miss her dearly, and she will always have a very special place in my heart.
