....for my birthday. Thank you to all the wishes my mailbox was filled with this morning. I'm sure it will be a great day....with or without sun....which is hiding behind some gray skies.
Yesterday started out with church and the "Revelation" for our confirmation students. I had a women come up and talk to me.....a classmate of Tom's.....from Junior High.....a quick reminder of how old I am today....anyway, when she told me who she was....Kelly Grise...I knew Tom would be so interested in hearing about her.....so I came straight home and called him.
I spent the rest of the afternoon talking on the phone, Aunt Loretta, Cousin Janet, and Cousin Elaine (from Hawaii) my daughter telling me that they would all be over tonite after 6 p.m. when all their sporting events were done.....reading the paper....and watching TV and playing computer games. Nothing too exciting till "the Donald" was interupted by the President!! Ironic!!! But then the big announcement that Osama Bin Laden had been killed. Wow! does that bring back lots of memories....like the tower going down, worrying about my kids....Tom was in the airport in Chicago....waiting to board a plane....and Bill was supposed to fly into an airport out East for work. So relieved when they called and said they were home and safe. I'm sure you all have your own memories.
This morning the TV is filled with pictures and stories and also already some "doubting Thomas's" wanting to see and touch the body to make it real.....another irony as that was the Gospel yesterday at Mass. I guess this birthday will be one I'll never forget either.
I'm meeting Judy and June for lunch today and then will wait for the kids to come....I hear they are bringing pie!! Can't wait!!
My cousin Louie's surgery is tomorrow....please pray....Mike Douville needs some too....I haven't heard yet when my chemo starts....but pray for me too! Love and prayers, m
