Long before Thelma & Louise, ( of movie fame), there was Dorothea & Adele. They drove to Virginia for holidays and family events....with Dot doing the driving and Mother as the navigator. Now, that was a trip!
There were weekly lunches at a "nice restaurant", preceded by a Dewers and a Jack Daniels at Mother's house. Each had her own chair....a routine! Shortly after Mother died, Dot came over to the house before our lunch , sat in Mother's chair and directed me to hers. Again, Dewers, and in my case...not telling! Then, out to lunch to solve the world's problems once again.
Aunt Dot was there to watch my children grow and to be a cherished friend to my Mother and to all the members of my family. She was, with Mother, another shoulder to lean on....now, I have lost them both. I will miss her sage advice and her friendship.
Don't know if there are road trips in Heaven but I'm sure that the luncheon scene has brightened up with two elegantly dressed ladies!
Go in peace Aunt Dot..
