My aunt died yesterday.
She had been very sick for a long time, but things got complicated over the weekend and she was hospitalized earlier this week. Everyone figured that she would never leave the hospital alive and they were correct. I planned to visit her tomorrow morning, but that was too late.
My aunt could have been a fashion model. She was tall and thin and had high cheekbones. People said she resembled Lauren Bacall.
She never married and never owned a car, so she had some expendable income, which she used to dress to the nines.
In the 1950s and 1960s, she was a fashion plate. In that era, I never saw her wear anything but a dress and high heels and often a hat and white gloves.
I don't know about her other nieces, but my aunt's fashion sense had a great influence on me.
Rest in peace, Aunt A.
I'm sorry for your loss, Stana.
