To the Airport & Back✈️

Three Facts About My Niece, Alura (Blog Name)

-Her Loves...God & People

-As a Preschooler She Thought I Lived at the Airport instead of Beaumont

-She is an Ancestor

Yes, the First reason I fell in love with being an aunt has left this world for the next. It took me a while to grasp celebrating this life in an Outspoken_Diva fashion. Every life is celebrated. But the pain of this young woman's passing was heavy on me. She is Forever 27 years old. 

Then we found out she was an organ donor. When I mentioned she loved God & People, Alura Loved God & People. Even passed her leaving this world gave such a selfless act for strangers in need to prolong their lives. When we heard the news I could be shocked. But this was something my niece believe in...Being Sweet to Others.

Her Belief System was in a Rhythm that Only She could know to play.

I remember when I found out she believed I lived at the airport. I was home from college for Winter Break & I had to punish her. I don't spank often. I'm a stand-in-the-corner/give-out-restrictions type of aunt. Well, while standing in a corner in the living room, she told me, "Well, You Can Go Back to the Airport Where You Live" and cried. I had to walk to the back of the house to silently laugh & report that to my sister. She found out where I lived when I graduated from Lamar University the next Summer in 2003. We have laughed & cherished that memory all of the time. To the point where on her birthday, my message always ended with, "To the Airport & Back".

I don't have children of my own because my niece & nephew took my love & refused to give it back. And well, my niece, Alura took her portion and put that eternal stamp in my heart where she belongs.
