The Sliver

Mary Louise Stanton was my Aunt. When I was a very young girl (Lynn Johnson then) my family visited Aunt Mary and Uncle Albert, and my cousins John and Richard - Julie-Ann was not yet born - at their cottage on the Rideau. A wonderful day of playing with my cousins on the dock until I somehow got a huge slpinter in my foot. Back then the dock was made of wood. It must have been a terrible splinter as every adult there was very very concerned. I saw this and of course was even more scared than I had been. I was laid on the picnic table, Aunt Mary produced a large pin which was sterilized with a match or a lighter and while I don't remember who dug the wood out of my foot I DO remember that it was Aunt Mary who held me down at the shoulders and talked to me until the lengthy process was completed and all the wood had been removed. Because of her talking to me I was able to lie still and not disturb the process. I have never forgotten her face above me, and how calm she seemed. I have thanked her for that every time I have thought of that day. Such kind words in such a steady voice - she made a lengthy and painful process not only possible but bearable for a little girl. A very kind lady.
