I miss Aunty Estella very badly. She has practically watched me grow up. Ever since back at Dover when she first came (she told me once) that my older siblings were hiding under the dinner table cheekily afraid of the new maid and i was playing with my toys along in a room. That was when she became a member of the family. However, her after many contract renewals and years of extensions of living with us she decided to go work at Spain hoping that the higher pay would well support her family better than her current revenue. The agency she worked with was very inefficient and kept postponing when she would leave for Spain and work for her new family. We still allowed her to stay even though the Anneline had already arrived and began working. I still remember the day of her flight, I was at Tanglin having fencing practice away from my phone. She tried to call but I didn't answer. I only realised that she was flying off that evening when I checked for missed calls, but she had already boarded the plane. 
Now here whereabouts are pretty much unknown. We can hardly communicate, unsure if the agency had kept their word and sent her to Spain as planned.
Somehow her leaving our family hasn't come to a closure for me and hopefully this may help a bit.
Thank you Aunty Estella for everything.
