My Aunt Dottie's Graduation!




Wanted to share this exciting event. My Aunt Dottie recently graduated with her Master's in Library Science and we got to celebrate here with her in Tucson.
A little background on my aunt that is really amazing is that she's been a widow for 7 years, supporting herself and my cousin, Debbie Ruth.
Prior to that for 12 years, she took 24-hr care of her husband who went blind 3 weeks after their wedding and was later diagnosed with a brain injury that left him unable to work and eventually unable to walk, talk, or care for himself. She continuosly demonstrated courage, faith and unwavering commitment to her husband and her marriage vows. I wanted to take this blog to honor her and her example.We enjoyed a great lasagna dinner after her ceremony and all her friends from her church were there and lots of family. It was really neat and we are very proud! Congratulations, Aunt Dottie!
