Then, in late October, my mom wrote suggesting that I spend the shorter Thanksgiving, Christmas, and spring vacations with Aunt Sheila rather than fly all the way back to Georgia.
For me, this was good news since it gave me more time with Michael, especially vacation time which promised lots of fun and games.
And I adored Aunt Sheila for her loving yet firm manner and the way she always kept a cheerful disposition.
Even when she scolded Michael, a real gentleness came through.
No wonder Michael worshipped her and seemed genuinely disturbed when he let her down.
We also liked her because she spoiled us so with delicious meals, funny stories, and lots of outings.
That this wonderful mom still spanked her son once or twice a week without arousing any lasting resentment only made her more impressive to me.
