    Aunt Louise always remembered my birthday as I child; except once . I was destitute, crying to my mother wondering how she could forget. My mom took me aside and said sometimes adults get busy and perhaps my card would be a little late this year. As I look back, I’m sure she called Aunt Louise because the the most beautiful birthday card arrived and she never forgot again. I love you Aunt Louise
