Portrait - Dorothy
Yesterday I was very fortunate to meet a woman named Dorothy. Dorothy is 93 years young, lives in her own home, is bright in spirit and mind, and has a smiling soul. She survived the 1929 tsunami in Newfoundland (http://www.heritage.nf.ca/law/tsunami29.html) when she was a little girl. (I didn't even know there was a tsunami in the maritime provinces.)
She wowed me big time with her quick wit, keen mind and pleasant manner. I shall not forget Dorothy easily, she made a big impression in a short time.

I have always had a special place in my heart for Dot, after all she took such good care of me as a young child while I lived with you all and I have fond memories of her even though it was a difficult time in my young life. She sure is a special lady.

Thank you. I enjoyed seeing Aunt Dot and reading the comments. Even though she and I are related by marriage, I have always felt a special affinity with her. I guess it's because are both Newfoundlanders who married Nova Scotians! And no doubt also because Aunt Dot grew up on the Burin Peninsula and knew my mom's family. I remember my mom telling me about that tsunami. She had just been at a visitation in Grand Bank; her friend died of TB. She said it was SCARY!
