I love this, Ann. Your writing made me think of all the women, some relatives, some family friends, who watched out for me, teaching me things my mother couldn’t. Thanks for that!💕

Aunt Teresa sounds extra special.

Oh Elizabeth, thank you. She was. She had no children of her own so I was special to her. And she to me. ✨

Lovely, Ann. 💕The elegant style of a “strapless” prom dress in “pale yellow silk” lovingly designed with you in mind. Beautiful description of the dress, the moment, and the special aunt, your “savior” who made it all possible. Thank you for sharing! I, too, had a special aunt whose wisdom and life lessons serve me to this day. 💜
