Today, I got the rare treat of seeing my aunt. They were doing a whirlwind trip out west to see relatives of all sorts. I have not seen her in years.
The more we talk, the more it seems that I should have been my aunt's daughter. We are so much alike. All of the ways that my mother and I are different (which is pretty much everything), she and I are alike. We talked about migraines and how we both suffer. We talked about remodeling, which we both enjoy. We talked about sorting through things, slowly and completely. We even look alike. We both avoid horses completely. The list goes on and on.
They arrived just as Ducky and sweetP were headed off to soccer. It was an unfortunate conflict, but it was sweetP's last soccer game and we didn't think he should skip it. My aunt and I had a wonderful chat while sweetE charmed my uncle. My usually shy boy, warmed up to them in about 4 seconds. After nearly an hour, we headed off to lunch with Ducky and sweetP set to meet us when they were done.
I felt bad that Ducky was missing so much of our time together, but grateful that I got this chance to visit. Our lunch came to an end and they had to head out to go visit my parents. I wished that we had more time to chat and not feel rushed. SweetE was really sad to see them go, he wanted them to stay. He wanted to know when we would see them again. So I may have to research a trip.
They are such wonderful people, I wish they lived closer.

Glad to hear you had such a nice visit.
Sounds like a wonderful time. I have an aunt that I'm quite close to, but she is my father's sister. I look just like her, too.
What a sweet post--it seems sweetE feels the same about your aunt as you do.
