Accidental Story

While my nan and I were looking through her old photos and reading the stories she had written me, we came across a photo of my older sisters christening. The lady holding her looked very much like my auntie but my nan told me it was my Great Auntie Jenny.
When I mentioned that she looked like my Auntie Debbie, my nan told me a story about how funny it was for me to mention that.

Jenny had been my nan's next door neighbour when my nan and granddad moved into a house in Crowborough in August 1964. From that moment on, my nan and Jenny became best friends, and Jenny got promoted to an Auntie. Many years later my Auntie Debbie was sitting with my nan talking about all of her aunties, but when she came to Auntie Jenny, my nan shook her head and explained that she was not her real auntie, she was just a very good friend.
Debbie didn't take this very well at all and cried for ages because she really wanted my Jenny to be her real Auntie.
A little while later, Jenny was looking through her family history to put together a family tree and found that Debbie's Great Granddad's sister was Jenny's Great Grandma, so they are actually related, which could possibly explain why they look so similar!

This is such a simple story with a happy ending, but has a lot of elements that I could use to turn it into a book. I will need to keep searching through the family history to make sure that I have all of the correct information and possibly find some photos or possibly some video that I could use for this piece. But I feel that with the family tree creating the basis for this story, It could come out very well.
