Remembering Aunt Dottie

When I think of Aunt Dottie, I can honestly say that every memory I have of her is a good one. She was one of those people who made you feel at home the moment you walked through the door. She was warm, kind, and always genuinely happy to see you.

Every summer, my mom (Uncle Jack´s sister), my siblings, and I would get on a plane to Pennsylvania for our visit with our grandma (Nanny) and Uncle Al. We´d come and stay at their house for a week or two, and those trips became some of the best parts of my childhood. I still remember the excitement of pulling up to their house.

The house always felt so welcoming, because it was filled with love and laughter. There was just something comforting about being there. We´d share meals, talk and joke about life, and spend slow summer days together, enjoying each other´s company. And those little moments stuck with me.
