When I think of the person I want to grow up to be like (yes I know I'm already a grown up but I am also still growing lol), I think about my Aunt Lynn. Lynn became my Aunt in 1991 when she wed my Uncle Brian. She was already family years before that though. I don't remember the exact day I met her but I do know that every time I was around her as a kid and even today, I sit in admiration. I've gone to her for advice and I've made decisions about my life based on that advice. She's always been supportive to me and our family and never hesitates to help when she can.
I have so many great memories of her from family vacations, parties, hanging out at the house, putting makeup on me for prom, helping me to mentally prepare for college, putt putt games and cooking up some of the best meals I ever had. But my favorite memories are when we play scrabble, cards or board games. Lynn is just as competitive as me and always wants to win. I love that about her. She is a winner and has constantly remained a guiding light in my life.
Watching how determined she is and recognizing the sacrifices she made in life helps me to appreciate her more and more. Lynn, is someone who I've witnessed be an amazing friend, caring daughter, dedicated wife, supportive sibling and encouraging aunt. She's gone above and beyond for those she loves. I only hope that I embody some semblance of those traits. I'm so grateful to call her my Aunt and on this third day of Black History Month I honor her.
