Do/did you have a favourite Aunt or Uncle? (both)
I had two favourite Aunties as a child.
Midge and Ruby.
Aunty Midge was wonderful. Never Married, lived in a beautiful Australian Cottage style 1940's era House.
Garden full of colourful flowers. Always cooking something.
I visited often because she was a kind, gentle lady always helping people.
She seemed happy enough with her Spinster life.
Aunty Ruby was one of those people who was a part of almost every Women's Club, Guild, Charity, Church and Committee in my small home town.
Her whole life was devoted to giving of herself to those less fortunate.
My father received an OAM (Oder of Australia Medal) from the Queen for services to the community and the Trade Unions.
Aunty Ruby was offered the same Award but she did not accept the offer.
Aunt Ruby wanted to remain in the background, quietly getting on with business.
