Oh Happy Grandmother!

St. Ann was the amazing grandmother of Christ the Lord.  

I join her ranks!  I am now a grandmother.  How wonderful, to bestowed upon me, the highest honor, of which I can imagine.   His perfect entrance into the world; his beautiful eyes, lovely hands!  He brings peace, love and joy to our days and nights.  He is precious beyond words.  

I am eternally grateful for this precious life, and count the blessings from the Lord for this joy of which he has given our family.

the Catholic Lady, is now a Catholic Grandmother!

Another student, tragically

#15, Renee Gates, murdered, and left in a snow bank, her boyfriend overdosing and dead within the week, of liver failure.   Correct me if in error, but she is the first to be murdered in all of the students who ever attended this school.  

I have a lovely heart shaped floral arrangement that she made, and then gave to me, after I commented on it, and admired her work!  That moment, still in my heart and mind, as she entered school at the end of the day following PM Tech school.  She handed it to me, and told me I could have it.

It sits on my desk, to this day.
