I chatted with Mimi last night.
She said:
- She feels all right, healthwise.
- She got the tip of her right ring finger caught in her daddy's car door when she was about 4 years old. It was fine. They didn't go to the doctor.
- She always went to church, and Pop-pop went along but never wanted to join. After years of noncommital attendance, something shifted. One Sunday at Wesley Monumental in Savannah he caught the preacher's hand after the sermon and said, "I want to become part of this church. Would you baptize me?" The next Sunday he got sprinkled and was ever after a member of a church.
- She is very, very sad that her little sister, the sister for whom we named M, is in hospice care. But she knows M the elder has suffered so much...it's just so hard to see someone she loves suffer so much.
- Aunt M has been a wonderful sister to Mimi.
Aunt M sent our KidM a tiny porcelain doll and a commemorative coin collection the year she was born. Aunt M's husband, Uncle Fred, had been a high school football coach and a school principal. He was a big, gruff man with a huge heart. Aunt M loves to laugh and have cookouts by the lake.
