11/1/69 – 11/2/69. Janet Lynn Boyd

From November 6, 2015….

“Today on my way home from a trip with a student, we made a detour through my family’s hometown, Clayton, AL. I stopped at the cemetery next door to the United Methodist Church there to visit my Daddy’s grave. The flowers looked fine. While there I also checked on the grave of a baby sister who died in 1969 within 24 hours after a premature birth. My sister Carol Andrews and I had a conversation earlier this week after she sent me a post about “loving my sister”…(meaning ME!). It resulted in a brief conversation between us about the baby sister who’d died, Janet Lynn. Today, as I stood at Janet Lynn’s grave, I realized that Carol and I had that conversation on Janet’s birthday, November 1st. It’s not a date either of us have thought about in many, many years…..but I don’t think it was a coincidence that God gave us both a little reminder of her on her birthday.”

Janet would be 53 now……. She is 53 now…….. i will see her someday……..
