My maiden aunts. of whom Aunt Joan was the youngest, were voyagers. They sailed on ships like this one in the picture, and they went everywhere. They were young women living before the age of universal jet travel. You could join the Navy and still not see as much of the world as they did.
Today I’m up early because I have to deliver Joan’s burial dress to the funeral home and make as many of the arrangements as I can. It was only Friday that we finished preparing her taxes for this year.
Well, she had one more voyage to make, and now she’s made it; now she’s there. It’s the last voyage, the voyage home; and she has made it.
And this is the best voyage of all. Peace, Lee.
Once we have lived our life and proven our integrity, we have achieved victory.
Wonderfully put – Aunt Joan has some wonderful relatives.
That is a sweet little tribute to your aunt Joan; I wonder what kind of adventures she had around the world!
Fairly often, getting stuck in places where there was nothing fit to eat.
Crazy!
