A Letter to Tia Aura: The Light and Glue that Kept our Family Together
Mi Querida Tia Aura,
Today, as we mourn your passing, I want to take a moment to celebrate the incredible person you were. You were not just my aunt; you were the glue that held our family together, the light that brightened our darkest days, and the one who touched the hearts of everyone fortunate enough to know you.
From the very beginning, you took on the role of a nurturer, selflessly caring for your siblings when your mother tragically passed away. Your dedication and unwavering commitment to their well-being demonstrated your extraordinary strength of character. You were a guiding light for your family, and your giving nature will forever inspire me.
Your love and devotion to others knew no bounds. No matter what challenges you faced, your faith in God remained unshakable, guiding your every action and decision. You spread love and kindness wherever you went, even during your own battles with Alzheimer's disease. Your selflessness and generosity touched the lives of everyone around you, and I am so grateful to have witnessed your unwavering love.
Your spiritual life held deep significance for you and our entire family. Your prayers, filled with unwavering conviction, were a testament to your unyielding faith. Even as Alzheimer's took away your memories, your anticipation of meeting God and basking in His glory remained steadfast. Your spiritual journey served as an inspiration, reminding us of the power of faith and hope in the face of adversity.
Today, as I said goodbye, my heart ached but I also felt the relief of knowing you are home with God now. And Although you may no longer be with us in the physical sense, your spirit and the values you embodied will continue to guide and inspire us. I will always remember the incredible person you were.
Thank you, Tia Aura, for teaching us to love unconditionally, to serve others with kindness, and to have unwavering faith. You were a gift in our lives, and your legacy will forever shape our family.
Rest in peace, Tia Aura. We will miss you deeply, but your light will continue to shine brightly in our hearts.
Gracias Tia por todo su amor y su dedicación a toda la familia y a nuestro creador Dios! La quiero mucho y para siempre!
