My Aunt
My Aunt
Written by Brenda
My aunt is a very special person. She put everyone else first, and herself last. I was born at home and she was there to help deliver me. She was also a nurse. While my uncle was in Germany, she took her nurse’s training. My aunt and uncle are Wilson and Ponza Green.They loved children but never had any of their own so I became the child they always wanted.
My parents, aunt, and uncle all lived in the same house when I was born. My parents moved to Georgetown, Kentucky when I was three months old. My mother had to work so I stayed with my other mom and dad. We lived on a farm, where I still live today. I had a great life, with two sets of parents to love and take care of me. At the age of eight, my parents divorced and my mom moved to Ohio, so my aunt Ponza continued to raise me.
At the age of twelve, my mother remarried and I went to live with her. I attended Hughes High School, in Cincinnati, Ohio. I would spend the summer months back on the farm with my aunt and uncle. In my senior year I came back to stay with them until I married, and then I only moved across the road.
My aunt Ponza was always there to help me in anything I needed. I have two children and they were her grandchildren. She was a big influence on their lives. She also paid for them to go to college.
In 2001, she had a stroke that took part of her memory. So now I’m trying to give back all the years of love and care she gave to me.
