Dear Aunt Liz,
I'd love to talk to you more. I always heard relatives discuss you. I knew you were my mother's oldest brother's wife, but that was it. When I saw you for the first time in memory this past summer, I must admit I severely misjudged you. You were hanging over the side of the pool talking to my mother, and the minute I noticed your overly tan skin and dyed blonde hair, I rolled my eyes, thinking to myself that I couldn't believe we'd driven over 7 hours to see you.
Boy, am I glad we drove over 7 hours to see you.
You immediately took an interest in me like no one else ever had, firing a slew of questions and always offering a comforting smile. Later that night, when the adults went out for a drink, you jumped at the chance to stay behind and watch my two cousins, my brother and I. I thought you were insane.
Thank God you turned out to be actually insane. I don't think you would have survived the night otherwise. We all stayed up past 1 in the morning playing Catch Phrase and Bananagrams. As a kindergarten teacher, your 'small words' technique served you well. You even beat me a few times.
I can't wait to go back up and visit you again. I feel like I can tell you anything and you'll always listen to everything I have to say before you make a judgment.
Love,
Bridget
P.S. Pen pals?

daww nice. reuniting family members are great. you might have heard the story about me, my cousin and all my crazy aunts sitting around and talking about all of their worries, like how my aunts are afraid that all this doom and gloom is going to catch up wth them. it's nice being able to open up like that to family members. i'm glad you have that too 
srry to be all serious like that, it's not in my character. i've resolved to try and be serious at least one hour a day.
