to my beautiful aunty, bubbles of laughter rise and pop around the room like champagne, contagious smiles tugging at everyone’s cheeks. she stands in the centre, rosy cheeks blooming, and her eyes brimming with giggles, her words dance through the air as another one of her animated stories come to life. graceful as she ages, a daughter, sister, mother, aunt and nana. known for her love and unlimited devotion, she’s a woman who repays each and every penny, but there is one thing she has taken and can never return. she has taken a piece of each of our hearts a hollow space now absent from our chests, a part of us forever in her pocket now, to take where she must, we truly have been blessed 👼🏼
