At a very early age, both his parents died. One dear and loving aunt said she would take little John. The aunt sent a horse and a servant, Caesar, to get John who was only six at this time. On the way back, John was uncertain about his future: Would she be there? Would I like living with her? Would she love me? Would I have my own room? Would she let me have a puppy? Caesar told him he fell into good hands and she had a big heart. Shed got everything all set. She would be sure to wait up for him before they got there. They would see her candle in the window. Sure enough, as they neared the house, John saw a candle in the window and his aunt standing in the doorway. As he shyly approached the porch, she reached down, kissed him, and said, “Welcome home！” John Todd grew up in his aunts home and later became a great minister. She was mother to him. She gave him a second home. Years later his aunt wrote to tell John of her own impending(迫近的) death because of failing health. She wondered what would become of her.
