They say it takes a village to raise a child. Aunt Jeannine was part of that village. One of my earliest memories is of being at her red house on Shore Avenue when I was a young child. I have been told, and my body intrinsically remembers, that Aunt Jeannine was one of those who "had me." She probably held me in the first few days of my birth, and I was often at her house as a child and adolescent. I loved going to the restaurant where she was a waitress and thinking I would try something new, but settling for my old favorite and her knowing that I would do so. I loved seeing her all dressed up in her crisp white shirt and black pants. I loved when she surprised us on Christmas Eve; she couldn't always come because she worked but when she did it felt complete. Her presence was like Santa and Christmas morning all in one. I loved that all the things I could not do she did with ease: cooking, gardening, carrying drinks and food and not tripping and spilling them. She did not have the easiest life, but who has? As I got older she became the epitome of feel the fear and do it anyway. We put our parents and parental figures on pedestals. I never knew she had anxiety until I was older. She hated hospitals, but she was there every time Gram was. Often times our shifts overlapped. I remember leaving the hospital with her at 2am when Gram had a bad night and walking through the deserted parking garage together and her driving me to my car and then following me to the expressway to make sure I was safe. We watched April the giraffe give birth while Gram was on hospice. She loved fiercely and strongly. She went out of her way to help others, whether family, friends, or animals. She was such a bright light in a sometimes dark world. Her presence will be missed by so many. It still has not hit me that she is gone, that I will never hear her voice again or get a text from her. I loved her so much. I hope she knew. For now, I will look for pennies on the sidewalk (when I'm allowed to bend over again) and pansies in gardens. I will think of her when I bite into a tomato fresh from the garden, when I taste an oatmeal raisin cookie, when I see a beautiful sunset on the beach, if I ever see another giraffe giving birth (which honestly I could do without). Rest in peace, Aunt Jeannine. Your memory will always be a blessing.
