I was honored to be a friend of Dorothy. She taught me so many things. I remember her trying to teach me to make a basket. I kept talking to everyone and messed it up. She told me: You have 2 eyes, 2 ears and 1 mouth!”
We went to Hawaii together. It was so much fun because she was so happy to be there. The family scared me to death before they would let me take her, and made it clear that if anything happened to her, I might as well just keep on going and take up residence in Africa! She loved the flea market, and I think we hit almost every shop all the way around the big stadium. She always did love to “go diggin!”
I will always remember that she included me in everything. She always said I belonged in her family. While we were waiting for the airplane to Hawaii, she looked around the airport, and then said to me: Look, Gretchen…we are the only 2 Indians in here!” I knew I had made it then…I finally got to be an Indian!
I hope you are having a splendid time there on the other side with all your relatives and friends who went before you,. I am so glad that you are out of this earthly pain and hope you are at peace at last. I will miss you, my friend.
