my step daughter’s best friend thru jr high & high school was julie andrews’ daughter. the kid spent years in therapy. mommy & daddy beat & tortured her. scared silly little thing used to beg for sleepovers. one of her favourite things was to go with my stepdaughter to her aunt’s after school…an old fashioned aunt B who always had freshly baked goodies waiting for them along with something they could help her with…shucking peas, peeling spuds, setting a proper table or learning how to knit & crochet. years later, usually near holidays or birthdays she’d turn up on aunt B’s door just to bring her flowers & chat.
