Instead of picking
up my Gaian tarot for my daily draw I was mindlessly playing with my Original
Rider Waite Tarot and I pulled my card for today: the Six of Cups. this card is
all about happy childhood memories, feeling safe and nurturing our inner child.
Yesterday I’ve
received the very sad message that my
aunt had passed away. She was such a gentle and loving soul. Always ready to
help others where and whenever she could.
She lived with her mother, my grandmother, and always when I visited them
for the holidays she took me places like the cinema, the zoo, the beach or just shopping. She even took days off from work, especially
for me. Together we’ve seen the Sound of Music seven times! We played games together in the evenings after
dinner. Later when I had a family of my own she was just as loving for my kids
as she has been for me. It saddens me she is gone but I know for her it must have
been a relief because the last year of her life she was very ill So from now on I will treasure the precious
memories I have of her, safely in my
heart.
“If there
comes a day when we can’t be together, keep me in your heart, I’ll stay there
forever." Winnie the Pooh
I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your aunt; she sounds like she had a big heart and a generous spirit. She will live on in your heart and in the lives of others she has touched. Gentle hugs to all who loved her.

DeleteDearest friend Ellen,
ReplyDeleteI am very sorry to hear of the death of your sweet aunt. You are so blessed to have had her in your life. When we have some one like your aunt who loves and appreciates us for who we are it is so important, as this is how we gain our confidence, and belief in ourselves, because there is someone else who loves us besides our parents.
You have some beautiful precious memories. <3 GREAT BIG HUG <3
