I’ve got aunts everywhere, and I can honestly say that there is no one like them. They’re the women who bring us joy and laughter, who we can always rely on for a good story or a helping hand. But what about the aunts who are a little too helpful? The ones who always know the best advice and the juiciest gossip? The ones who never stop meddling? Well, that’s me. And it turns out, I’m not alone in my love-hate relationship with my aunties. In fact, according to a study by Forbes, nearly half of Americans have an aunt or an uncle that they desperately want to avoid—or even kill. So what’s the deal with these interfering relatives? And how can you deal with them in a way that doesn’t make you feel like you’re under siege? Read on to learn more about the five things my aunt did that I can never forget.

My aunt was always creative

My aunt was always creative. Whether she was painting, making jewelry, or writing poems, she always had something new to share. Her creativity has definitely rubbed off on me, and I’m always inspired by her work. Here are a few of the things my aunt did that I can never forget:

1. She wrote poetry.
2. She was an artist.
3. She composed beautiful melodies on the piano.
4. She was a fantastic seamstress.
5. She could often be found wandering around in nature, taking pictures and writing down ideas.

She always had an opinion

My aunt always had an opinion. She would say things without even thinking, and it would always be something ridiculous. One time, she came over to our house and started telling us how we needed to get a new pet because our old one was boring. Another time, she told us that we should all move to Alaska because the winters there are so amazing. Needless to say, we never listened to her advice. But, even now, years after she’s passed away, I can still remember her ridiculous comments and find myself laughing whenever I think about them.

She loved spending time with family and friends

My aunt was always there for me when I needed her, whether it was lending a listening ear or just being a general good friend. She loved spending time with her family and friends, and would do anything to make them happy. Whether it was cooking dinner for everyone or taking them on fun little adventures, she always made everyone feel special. It’s the little things that mean so much, and I’ll never forget the love and friendship my aunt offered me.

She was always the life of the party

When my aunt was younger, she always seemed to be the life of the party. Her infectious personality drew people in, and they would always end up having a great time. She would never miss an opportunity to have fun and make everyone laugh. Even now at age 70, she’s still got that same energy and ability to light up a room. Some of the things she did that I can never forget include:

•  Making hilarious jokes even when no one else was laughing.
•  Never taking herself too seriously.
•  Being endlessly enthusiastic about everything.

  Even though she’s passed away now, her memories will always stay with me and I’ll be able to look back on them with fondness. Her contagious laughter will always be one of my most cherished memories of her.
