Comments on: Aunt Anne and the TV http://www.apartment2024.com/2006/04/25/aunt-anne-and-the-tv/ Food, family and synchronicity, in mostly equal parts Sat, 05 Jul 2008 03:23:02 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Apartment 2024 » Blog Archive » Family history, plucked from the basement http://www.apartment2024.com/2006/04/25/aunt-anne-and-the-tv/#comment-27476 Apartment 2024 » Blog Archive » Family history, plucked from the basement Tue, 10 Apr 2007 02:06:32 +0000 http://www.apartment2024.com/?p=404#comment-27476 [...] I drove out to New Town Square today to visit my great-aunt Anne. This is not the first time I’ve written about visiting her, as it is always a bittersweet experience. When I view my time with her from one angle, I can recognize what a lovely and fortunate thing is it that I have this opportunity to really know her. She is the last surviving member of her generation in my family and she is smart, funny, sarcastic, loving, insecure (who thought you could still be dealing with insecurity in your mid-80’s?) and a font of interesting stories.

The drive from Philly to New Town Square seemed shorter than I remembered, and soon I was turning on to her street. I stopped at Wawa on my way to get her a tuna salad sandwich and a bottle of root beer, her favorites. She is always surprised when I bring them, she herself not remembering that she prefers that combination until its in front of her. We sat down to eat lunch at her kitchen table and she talked, stopping occasionally to apologize for being such a jabberer. [...] [...] I spent two hours with my Great-Aunt Anne yesterday afternoon.

It is a really nice thing that you are doing for her. Hopefully good things will happen to you because of it. I am sure it will. In your blog you requested a post once in a while- or I wouldn't have bothered you. Take care of yourself- and your family. pat came to find you via your little sister- Raina- as talented as she is- you have at least the equilivent in niceness and caring. when your aunt passes away- as we all do- hopefully a great many years from now- you will look back and be happy for what you did for her- and maybe guilty you didn’t do more-you shouldn’t feel that way- but it is you and you will.
