“The McClarrens… on Visiting Sunday…”
Over Seventy Years ago… can you believe this is what the three of us looked like!!!
That is DENNY…MARY ELLEN…TOMMY – – and we are HAPPY…because it is Visiting Sunday!
When I look at this photo…I am now taking note that there are so few parents in the back ground – – – so few of the children were as LUCKY … as the “McClarrens” – – to be able to see and visit with someone from their own FAMILY… to receive some sign …that there is someone in this world… that will even bother to come out on the second or fourth Sunday of each month… and spend a couple of hours…sharing “FAMILY LOVE” with the ones you LOVE the most!
What I really LOVED… was the surprise “VISIT” – – that would happen any time…any day of the week …when either my FATHER or my MOTHER would just show-up and always with a bag full of goodies… just reliving and thinking back …as to what was good and enjoyable about being in an Orphanage… especially when at the time… I could hardly stand to be there …and could hardly wait for the day that I would graduate … and be able to leave …and forever be in my own HOME!!!
