I still miss my Aunty "Johnny." My dad told me about a year or so before he died, that when he and my mom adopted me, her sister Joan, my Aunt Johnny, was the one who transferred me from my biological mother to my adoptive mother. She was the first one in my new family to actually hold me as a baby. No wonder she and I always shared a special bond!
My Aunt "Johnny." Loved her so much! Still miss her after all these years. I didn't find out until maybe 2019 or 2020 from my dad not that long before he died, that when my mom and dad adopted me, Aunt Johnny, her sister, was the one who transferred me from my biological mother to my new adoptive mother. She was the first person in my family to actually hold me as a baby. No wonder she was always so special to me and I to her!
Doris, what a wonderful lady and an inspiration to me the short few years I was allowed to know her. Doris and I became friends rather quickly when she was in Dialysis, we just "clicked" from the very beginning. We shared stories about our family, her grandkids and two daughters who were the world to her, our experiences working at St. Francis, our love for God, her church, politics, and the list was unending. I already miss her, today is her Dialysis day and it seems empty without her here to tease with and just have fun. I am thankful for the time I shared with Doris and know that she is praising God in Heaven and reuniting with many love ones who have gone on before.
