Aunt Rose

Aunt Rose didn't see faults in those she loved... she simply loved them. She didn't base her love on appearances, but what was on the inside.... true beauty.

"Thirteen," she said. It was almost true. She didn't ask Aunt Rose how anyone could be beautiful with mouse-brown hair and braces on her teeth. Aunt Rose thought everyone in the family was the most beautiful, the smartest, the greatest, even if it wasn't true.
