Yesterday I learned that our sweet Aunt Ruth passed away. The news kind of took my breath away since she was the last living relative of my grandparents generation. Aunt Ruth was one my favorites! I’m not sure I would have said that as a kid because you couldn’t get away with anything in her presence. She was tough! I know I broke some rules at her house from time to time and she wouldn’t hesitate to call me out. The rules applied to kids and adults equally. I kind of loved the fact that she would expect the same from uncle Ed and even my mother. She had a plan and expected everyone to follow it. Aunt Ruth truly cared about each of us. She asked the best questions and really wanted an answer. She had the best laugh and smile! The last time I had the opportunity to spend time with her was when my sister got married two years ago in Virginia. That week the family would often all hang out in the hotel lobby each morning. One of my favorite moments was when uncle Bob sat down next to Aunt Ruth and kind of started interviewing her in the hilarious way only he can. I have a picture of that moment but I wish I had recorded it. She shared some great stories! Living so close to her and uncle Ed as a kid was a gift. I’ll miss her very much! Here are some photos I pulled together. https://www.facebook.com/andrewyb/posts/10157967312946789
