Dora, Star Child??
"In late August of this year, I was scanning photos for a digital album. I came upon a couple of odd photos from my grandmother's collection. I was amazed at what was before me in these old pictures! Immediately, I called Gran and played twenty questions with her concerning the photos.
She told me that Dora, the baby being held in the pictures (close-up above, full images below), was a special child unable to walk, talk, and truly communicate in any form, but somehow they always knew when she needed and or wanted anything.
She also stated that many times strange things happened in Dora's presence, and it was as if she was using "her mind" telepathy to get their attention; things would move without being touched and she always had a glowing around her... an aura if you will.
She called her "a gift" but never told me if my great-grandmother had given birth to her or if she was indeed a gift from above or elsewhere. On the night of her death in the late 1920's, my great-grandmother told everyone that Dora would be leaving them soon, she had seen angels above her bed and they had come to take her back home.
I am still in awe of these photographs and the feelings I have each time I look at them. In the photos from top to bottom, left to right... great-aunt Sally, great-grandmother Mary, Dora being held, in the back-ground my great-grandfather John, and in the fore-ground great-uncle Jake. Untouched upper left photograph, retouched upper right photograph. Bottom, grandmother Annie, great-grandmother Mary, Dora being held, great-aunt Billie."
