Katherine Johnson

Things I didn't know about my mom till she died

Things I didn’t know about my mom till she died My name is Jordan Taylor Johnson and I am going to tell you a story. I was born Sept 1 1998 to Katherine Johnson and John Johnson who were both Navy corpsman. I was conceived in Bethesda MD, born in Charleston SC, moved to Okinawa Japan when I was one and a half and when I was four we moved to Roanoke VA where I would spend the next fifteen years growing up in a small town. Mom was from Roanoke VA and dad was from Rochester NY. I have a brother that was born in Okinawa Japan when I was three; he was one and a half when we moved to Roanoke. Dad and mom divorced when I was nine and Darius was five. We went with dad one week and mom one week it was hard time for us but we tried to hide it because we knew mom was fragile and we always worried about her. I just didn’t know how fragile till the day she died.
