Dance away...

if there was music, Brenda wanted to dance. When we were small (she is our Aunt, after all) she wanted to dance with everyone. But as we grew up Brenda became more...discerning. So for the last decade or so she'd almost exclusively dance with her nephews.

And she danced all night: disco, Oirish 2-step (OK hers was a 1-step), didn't matter: let the music play!

This was taken at my cousin Michele's wedding in August 2003. Among many memories from that night I remember Aunt Eileen-yes, Sister Eileen, queen of the penguins--begging and pleading with Brenda to come off the dancefloor so they could go home.

It didn't happen. Because Brenda was the Queen. And we her minions.

Jaysus I miss her...

How beautiful: the photo, and the memories.

I would have loved to have met your Aunty Brenda, I'm sure of it.

I just noticed your Irish LJ icon. Did you see my photo of Tom/tardis with the character?

Silly me. I just went back to that post and saw that you'd responded at the time.

Sometimes I worry about my own memory.

What a sweet story - and a wonderful pic. Reminds me of both my aunts.

What an wonderful posting. My aunt passed away last year, and my other aunt is Fred Nile with tits. But I loved them both the same...
