A Little Sad

This past Friday, March 26, 2010 at around 5am, my Tia Felipa went to be with the Lord. She was my mother's aunt but was always like my tia anyway. I will miss her greatly. Two words come to mind with my Tia, Shopper and Giver. She liked to shop everywhere. Like she could spend 2 hours in the Dollar Tree. But the reason she shopped so much? She gave. Even to people or kids she wasn't around all the time, but she gave. I will never ever forget what she gave to me, when I just turned 12 yrs old. I was on a trip all around California with 40 other 6th graders. When our trip took us to the capital in Sacramento, my tia was there to greet me with a gift bag. Little ducks were on it, with some soaps, and a little cosmetic case with a mirror and a lipstick. Bright pink. I only got to see her for a few minutes, but that memory has lasted me a lifetime. It is something I will never forget about my Tia Felipa. Rest in peace Tia. Jesus has you now. You will be in our hearts forever.
