My Rainbow Mom

Nell was my Mother Advisor when I was in the Masonic youth group, Rainbow Girls in Enumclaw.  She used to call us "Her Girls" since she only had sons.  It made me feel wanted and welcomed.  A few decades later, I found myself a Mother Advisor of the Auburn Rainbow Girls.  After my first uncomfortable night chaperoning a sleepover, I wrote Nell a letter thanking her for all the nights she slept on the floor so we, her girls, could have fun and be safe on a Friday night.  She wrote back that it was her pleasure, she'd do it again.  I know she would.  After she moved to back to Washington, I was able to go see her.  She recognized me as one of her girls as soon as I came into the room.  Mrs. Bannister, Nell, I am glad you got to meet my little girl.  You asked to come to her Rainbow initiation.  I am sorry you won't be there in person, but I know you will be there in spirit.  Thanks for the memories.  Love, your Rainbow Girl, Deana
