Connie

Tommorow my aunt turns another year older,
I love that dear lady and don't know if I've told her.
So I'm taking this moment to look back and see,
Just why my aunt Connie means so much to me!
Pink and White wallpaper stands out in my head,
painting and cleaning and moving a bed.
All to get ready for her to come back,
From South Carolina, with Honor entact!
Later came sleepovers with me and my sis,
she spoiled us rotten, they were complete bliss!
when birthdays came round the fun wouldn't end,
Connie took us to a movie, just me and a friend.
The best was when Connie moved into my house,
her room was not fit for even a mouse.
So we hung up blankets all over the walls,
She lived with the screaming and bouncing of balls.
Mario party kept us up late,
Connie saying swear words when losing was GREAT!
We'd stay up late talking and laughing too,
til my mom would come down and make faces at you!
One day when I brought home my first boyfriend, Kirt,
When he wanted to leave you dropped his keys down your shirt!
My favorite was when we went cruising together,
Remember the rocking from that horrible weather?
We knew the location of every bathroom on ship,
you puked in the water on our snorkeling trip!
Just $17 and take your shirt off for me,
I will forever be fond of that memory!
When life got tough I went down for a while,
you were always right there with a hug and a smile.
When everyone else was turning away,
You let me cry and knew just what to say.
Connie that's one of the things I love most about you,
You love every person despite what they do.
You were there at the hospital when Brayden popped out,
And helped me get back to that good upward route.
You smiled and came through the Temple with me,
And were there when we were cealed for all Eternity!
God then sent me a daughter so sweet and so new,
with her very first smile I knew just what to do.
I would give her a name that to me meant a lot,
Someone honest and caring, of goodness I sought.
And then that sweet baby she looked right at me,
and in that sweet second I thought of Connie.
You were always there and right by my side,
through the ups and the downs, no matter how bumpy the ride.
I love you my Connie, I hope you know that!
So be glad about 40! Be proud of that hat!
For no one has touched everyone person the same as you!
I love you my Connie, I love you, I DO!
