88 days of gratitude on the wall...

i gave up long ago
on being
the favorite auntie

too weird
i know nothing of animae
don't follow gossip girls
or idols
or fergie

the best auntie?
only if gauged by
intentions prayer honesty
only if mistakes are allowed

especially
the mistake of never
ever
remembering the actual
date of their birth

sorry

i think someone was born twelve
twelve
years ago today
and another birthday
is around the corner,
but isn't that always the truth



today we're all grateful for
happy healthy
nephews cousins

may all your wishes
come true

  1. Can I come lay on that couch/bed thing and cuddle with those children? Please?

  2. and they would fall in love with you, just like everyone else...

    except, of course, texans with ubiquitous county hospital insurance.
