This is my tia Josie, one of my Dad’s sisters. They are closest in age and did many things together growing up. She has always been one of my sweetest aunts. The two things she loves the most in life are her family and her church.

Over the years some of the family has become more distanced from the church, but not Josie. To Josie the church provides hope and is reminiscent of what is good in the world.

Just recently she has taken it upon herself to open her own church out of her home. My dad is helping her with all the legal paperwork. I still haven’t attended, but next time I am in town I would like to go. I want to see the reality of her hard work take shape.
