A Great Aunt

We also visited my Mother’s only living Aunt, on either side of her family. On her Mother’s side, my Grandmother had 7 siblings, and I was close to all of those Great Aunts and Uncles when I was growing up. Great Aunt Dot who is 93, is the only one left. She is still in good health, lives alone in an apartment, and told us she wonders “why she is still here”, when everyone else is gone. She only has one son and one grandson. She lost Uncle Denton in 1969, so she has been on her own a long time. She was so happy that we went to see her, she got Wiley family photos out from the past that we enjoyed looking at and we spent a whole afternoon with her.
