When my Aunt Nurse would visit us when we were growing up, just before leaving, she'd always ask me, "Who's you're Favorite Aunt...?"   And, I'd say, "You are Aunt Nurse..."  And then she'd plant a "juicy kiss on my cheek" leaving her red lip stick as a good-bye...like a period at the end of a sentence.   I'd run to the mirror just to see how perfect she managed to place it...almost every time.

The miles and years may have kept us apart (as of late) Leaving us to long phone conversations...that always ended the same...

"Who's your Favorite Aunt..."  

"You are, Aunt Nurse..."  

"That's right...You know, your Aunt Nurse Loves You..."

"I know, I Love You, Too, Aunt Nurse..."
