Aunt Kitty, I'm so grateful to have been able to have you in my life. You always believed in me, even when I felt I didn't deserve it. You were the kindest, funniest, most amazing woman to be around. Always had the entire room laughing. I will forever cherish all those memories with you, because they were among the best ones of my life... I now know the truth to who saved me as a kid... I owe it to you to make something of myself, Truly, like you believe I could. I love you and will always miss you, so very much. Until we meet again, here is one more m&m 💙
