Sun 31 May

It's here. The last day of Newman. Last night in bed I was reminiscing of all the times of our lives that have been marked in that chapel - our wedding, baptism of both children, First Communions, confirmations, sharing my mom in her final years with the parish. I am grateful for having that wonderful base for our religious lives. The sense of community has been wonderful, and I could find a home for my more liberal-minded Catholic views where I could feel more comfortable than I have in any other church I've attended. Wow, even when you know it will be emotionally tough, it isn't any easier for foreknowledge. I still feel somewhat emotionally drained.
