My aunt is one of the strongest women I have ever met. I think she's changed my perspective to life altogether. As she inches towards hitting 63 (i think) she's the spunkiest, coolest aunt I know and also an inspiration for me. She's single but she loves all her nieces and nephews so so soooo much. She treats all of us as her own. After my grandparents passed on, she's now become the glue that gels the family together. All the family gatherings are organised by her and she personally oversees the food, makes sure everybody is fed, cares for the family and because of that heart of servitude, so many people have been blessed.

In her generation where friends/family members got married at like age 20, staying single probably was very difficult. Imagine all the peer pressure and the looks shot her way when people found out she wasn't married. Not like she didn't try. I heard from my dad that she got cheated by this guy and just as they were going to register for marriage she found out that he was already married. SIGH. (#boyswillbeboys) I wonder how she felt. Then she had a bout of cancer a few years ago which has been kept under control for now but with all the chemo her hair fell out, she lost weight and she didn't have immediate family to support her though that tough time. My dad did drive her around but the pain and suffering she endured must have been difficult.

She's not getting any younger and I really want her to be happy :)
