No Thanks to Mom and Dad - Emma Jean Meyer
Imagine being just 2 years old, your twin sister by your side, both clinging to your beloved Father as he leads you to an ominous brick building: St. Vincent's Orphanage. It was the Summer of 1933, the country was in the Great Depression, and it was the Summer when Emma and her Sister, Wanna, were left at the gloomy home for girls. Even as they begged their Father not to leave, crying helplessly, arms outstretched: he still shut the door.
They spent their childhood within the walls of the grim orphanage, separated from their brothers as well, until they reached High School age, where they were sent to a strict, unforgiving Catholic Boarding School. It seemed like there was no hope for any kind of bright future….
Emma, however, was determined that her bleak situation would not bring her down.
Fast-forward 50 years, Emma has once again found her light and love in her husband, children and grandchildren. A true testimonial that with faith, and hope, your life can still change. Even through adversity, things will always work out.
