My Aunt Dolly was a force of nature, even if she stood barely 5' tall! She did not have a great start at life, she overcame a childhood of abuse and abandonment.
In fact, she triumphed over it, because of her, over 500 children got a better start at life. She would take care of those babies, nurse, hold, and love them, detailing in a journal their eating and sleeping schedules as well as what worked to calm them and what didn't. When she handed off that child to their new parents, there was a tear in her eye, but her heart was full. I remember dozens of photo albums with pictures of all the babies that passed through her arms, she loved every one of them. Of course anyone who knew Dolly over the last 30 years, also knows Mark. She took care of him for so long.
She was loud, told funny, raunchy jokes, laughed hard, and lived life large. I miss bringing you coffee and muffins from Java's Brewin'.
You always told me how much you loved my dad, thank you for sharing this pic with me! I can hearing him laughing at your jokes up in heaven.
