For Ony

I have a dear aunt named Devona,
Who is true to her lovely persona,
It’s her birthday today,
And I feel I must say,
Years just add to her glowing corona.

As I’ve mentioned before, my sister has started a blog from my mother’s diaries. The entry for today is from when my aunt, her youngest sister, was born. It’s not terribly sentimental, but it’s still sweet. A 16 (almost 17) year old girl with boys on her mind and already the oldest of six won’t typically spend a lot of time waxing on about a new baby in the house. She did have a deep care for her baby sister though and between her and my aunt Esther I’m sure that dear “Ony” as we call her, was zealously nurtured by three very capable “mothers.”
