Aunt Jenny


The story that I read on last week "Aunt Jenny" is really an interesting and inspiration story. I really like the moral of the story. The story talks about how Jenny, which is this little girls auntie, was diagnosed with down syndrome when she was only 5 years old. Jenny's sister has been taking good care of her for years. Jenny is very short and is in her 40's.  In the beginning of the story I even thought that she was a child, being that they talked about her loving to color. The young girl and her sisters loved their Aunt Jenny when they were young, but when the girl grew older she started seeing things that Aunt Jenny did to be annoying and embarrassing. She got to the point where she didn't want to be seen with her Aunt. The girls mother, also Jenny's sister, was of the total opposite from her daughter. Jenny's sister showed her as much love as she can since they were both younger. In the story you can definitely tell that she loved her sister Jenny unconditionally. Being that the mother cared so much and showed her sister so much love, it eventually began to rub off on the child once again. So in a way i guess you can say that her mother re-inspired her to love her Aunt Jenny even better than she did before. The story was very touching and heart warming in my opinion, and I'm glad the conclusion of the story was the way it was.
