dancer
February 9, 2009
My Aunt Natalie died this morning in New Jersey. She was among other things, an enthusiastic folk dancer. She was a particularly gracious woman whose eyes sparkled and whose mouth always had a smile quivering about it. She had a great talent for love and she passed that talent on to her children, my cousins, who are open, warmhearted and emotionally generous.
Her husband, children, grandchildren, brothers and sister were with her at the end. She was ready to go.
My sister, her namesake, is a dancer. And this Friday, three days before Aunt Natalie died, my niece gave birth to Natalia who is sure to become a dancer as well.
