Tribe Heart

Hopefully we all have someone in life who inspires you, makes you feel warm and loved, makes you believe you're special...makes you want to be more than you are.

For me it was my Aunt Jo. She was there in the beginning and there throughout my life. She encouraged me, accepted me, was a friend when I needed her and a hundred more things that are hard to express.

Yesterday I lost her, and my life is altered in ways I can't begin to realize. I ache with the feeling of being left behind. I can't pick up the phone and call her anymore, can't reach out just to feel her smile across the miles.

My Aunt Jo truly had a tribal heart and a tribal spirit. She was the best, and I miss her.

Josephine Collins ... rest in peace.
