You're probably thinking, "Oh boy, what's this post going to be about?" Or, "This is quite the departure from the content he usually writes on his blog." Don't worry. I'm not becoming a holy roller on your, but I have found religion in a way that suits me.
Hey dad, tomorrow if going to be a bitter sweet day. Kayla makes her First Communion and everyone in the family will be there. It'll be nice to see everyone again and get us all together, but yet again, we'll be reminded of the big loss that's been left with your passing away.
It's been over two months and it still feels like it was yesterday that we were at the hospital, game planning with the doctors about how to get your back on your feet and better. We had no idea that those were the last moments we'd spend with you.
It's been so hard. There are a slew of moments throughout the day that you creep into my mind. It's nice to be able to call Uncle Louie, play my guitar, listen to Beatles songs, watch you playing guitar on video or look at pictures to keep those memories fresh in my mind.
Tomorrow, while Kayla receives her First Communion, you'll be with her…closer to her than any one of us.
Today I saw a woman with Rosary Beads on the bus, mumbling to herself, doing what I assumed was praying. I thought it was an odd thing to do -- not praying -- but to do so on the bus.
You see, I'm a Catholic but one of those covenient Catholics. I don't go to Church unless it's for a major holiday (maybe) or if someone dies. I went to CCD, have all my sacraments and all that. So, technically, I'm a Cathiloc.
I'm not sure why I never bought into the entire Catholic thing (other than guilt), but it was never really for me.
