Growing up I never knew that my aunt was different, she was always just my lovable aunt. There has never been a time where she has not made me laugh or smile. She has the capability to capture your heart from the moment you meet her. No matter what happens in your life she has always been the same, loving, funny, and at times a bit difficult. My aunt is the kind of person who can make an awkward situation disappear and a funny one come right along. As time has gone on, I never thought of the fact that this could change. Aunt Liz was always just Aunt Liz. Though as I've grown and she as well her sweet character is changing. The disease that she lives with will eventually take it's toll on her body and mind. Even though it is the most difficult thing to watch her amazing personality fade, every once in a while you are able to see a glimpse of the real Liz. The one that can never do any wrong, someone who can talk about farts and make you laugh.
Thank you Liz for teaching me how to not be afraid to laugh, crack a joke, and always be myself. We will always love you and your crazy self.
