53/366: Zia Maria (Aunt Mary)

Her bread is the closest to Nana’s of all the aunts’. Her lasagne is made with homemade noodles. She makes gorgeous quilts, and she still calls my mom every week. She has lost two of her six children: one to cancer, one to heart disease. A third has metastatic breast cancer.

No one should lose their children.

I desperately want her lasagne.

Her lasagne is worth killing for.

And that family has had too much, too much.

That's just too sad.

Some families seem to get more than their share. And the irony is that she and her husband, both in their eighties, are in excellent health.
