The community of Central New York learned, late this afternoon, that its adopted daughter, Jenni-Lyn Watson, has come home to stay. She will not be making the hours-long journey, out of the heart of New York State, to resume her place as a dance artist and college student in Erie, Pennsylvania.

Instead, she will stay behind with us, her adoptive mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. She will be with us, here, as we prepare for the holidays, as we shop for gifts, decorate our homes and anticipate the return of family and friends for the New Year. Through all these things, through the days of darkness and light that follow, she will be with us.

Jenni-Lyn Watson, twenty years of age, came home on November 18, 2010 to be with her family for the Thanksgiving holiday, but instead found her place in the heart of an extraordinary extended family and will remain with us until the very seasons, and our memories of them, have come to an end...
