ARTICLE - AUNT LULA'S JUNK GIFTS

BY DONOVAN BALDWIN

My Great Aunt Lula
With My Dad At
Stone Mountain
I have an old beat-up Zane Grey novel, Wild Horse Mesa. When I was a young boy, my widowed great aunt Lula (my father's mother's sister) sent me a gift on my birthday and at Christmas, addressed in the manner of the time, to "Master Donnie Baldwin".
It was always stupid stuff, and the book WAS falling apart.
I asked my mom why Aunt Lula just sent me junk.
She replied, "Since your Uncle Irwin died, she barely has enough to live on. But, she wants you to know she's thinking about you, so, she buys what she can afford. She can't afford to get you what you really want, but she buys you what she can because she loves you."
Took me a few years, but, I got it.
