My historic biography offers me an opportunity to share an amazing individual with you, my ninety-two-year-old Aunt Edna. The best part of writing it was the joy of spending months in intimate contact with her. Believe me, I relished every hour being enlightened while in her extraordinary company. At times, we savored quiet lunches at restaurants; sometimes we sipped tea or Sprite. But most importantly, I spent captivating moments in her companywrapped in her love, enchantedas she recounted her philosophies about life, pausing here and there to reflect and finally dancing her lifes red carpet. Allow me a minute to get my needle and thread. Ill be ready to cross-stitch a colorful embroidery of Aunt Ednas life. Hopefully, the result will be a stunningly detailed love quilt on which each stitch is carefully aligned. The completed masterpiece will tell you the story of her life. Ill do my best to reproduce her portrait without unnecessary alterations and distractions. First and foremost, Ill attempt to turn the reins over to her and let her tell it like it is. In other words, inasmuch as possible, youll get her lifes journey in unbiased, unabridged format straight from the horses mouth. She has always been a cultural aficionado with a touch of class when it comes to her social circuitgoing to cinemas, operas, and dinners in downtown Washington, DC, more often than I do. Her diminutive physical statue is totally overshadowed by the larger-than-life essence, unabated charm, and integrity that radiate from her. And while she possesses so many positive attributes, she surrounds herself in modesty. Her humility is deeply rooted and sincere. She absolutely refuses to boast, often dismissing her entire life as being ordinary, insisting that she leads an uninteresting life. Ill contradict her with two words: au contraire!
