This Friday my Aunt from NYC came to San Antonio to see us! I haven't seen her since Mark and I got married three years ago. Tia Grace is our crazy, fun loving Aunt on my mom's side and we LOVE spending time with her. She is very big on us being proper, polite, kind, loving, confident in ourselves, and most of all spoiling us.
I remember my first visit to NYC when I was seven: it was the first time I had flown in a plane by myself. Before I had arrived Tia had bought me a journal and written my "Welcome Letter." At the end of everyday she had me write down everything I done, in detail and what I thought about my experiences. The day before I returned to Texas we developed all my pictures and I pasted them in my journal. I still have the journal and I like to look back at "see" what my young eyes observed and learned. I'll never forget one of her friends telling me, "Veronica, enjoy every minute in NYC because before you know it your week in NYC goes by faster than a New York minute." Boy was she right! And that's how every visit is with Tia Grace, it goes by faster than a New York minute. You miss her before she's even left.
Here are some pictures of Tia Grace and Joseph. I know that you can see the love and caring in their glances as if you were there the minute it was captured on camera.
"Thank you for coming to visit me Tia Grace! I had such a good time and I miss you already. I can't wait for our next visit!
All my love, Joseph"
