First we sadly received the news that our sister-in-law's father died. This is Suzy's dad and Jack's grandpa. Losing someone at Christmastime is so difficult. I had a baby brother who died in a tragic freak accident (before I was born) five days before Christmas and it was always such a sad memory to carry every year.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him.....
This morning while Mark was in the shower, Michael and I were downstairs talking. We could hear water dripping madly somewhere and started looking. Here water is dripping out of the ceiling of our front hall closet, right under the shower stall in our bathroom upstairs. I run upstairs to tell Mark to turn off the water and Michael grabs a bucket and towels. Lovely mess.
Next my brother Bill calls to tell me that both of my parents are sick with a stomach bug of some sort. We had plans with them for tonight which included dinner. So all day I've been saying prayers that they will be better for tomorrow and Christmas Day. Every year I find myself wondering if it will be their last Christmas and I hate the thought of them spending their last Christmas sick.
We spent the day finishing up a few shopping chores, baking cookies, and wrapping presents.
We did go to noon Mass and now I'm going to finish up my day here by saying my rosary.....peaceful time with our dear Lord....
A blessed, restful night to all.....may you sleep in the comfort of His peace....
