Timing is Everything!

I got a call today from a woman requesting a reference for Victor. Today, of all days. I vividly remember this day two years ago. The ice, Tom's phone call as I was leaving the hospital, being afraid to tell Mom about Dad all by myself, the cell phone that needed charging, not to mention the poor reception at University Hospitals, Terry's car accident, Marlys quietly crying, Mom's hand in mine. I love and miss you Dad.

Remembering Dick Renkert

Terry and I went to the memorial service for Dick today. It was a lovely celebration of his life. He was certainly a remarkable man! Dick succumbed to a heart problem; Susie said he was in the hospital for 5 days before he died. He had not been ill. Seems to me, he did it right. He lived a great life and then did not have to suffer very long. He was well loved and well respected by all. I know I will remember his loyalty and friendship.

Hail Mary, Gentle Woman

I was at the school Mass today for the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. We sang this song, one of Mom's favorites. Will I ever get through a Mass again without tearing up?

OOPS!

Mark had a little altercation with the garage door!
