The first post on this blog happened on May 26, 2014, which happened to be Memorial Day that year.
Well, this year, Memorial Day was yesterday, May 25, 2015. I did not attend Mass at the cemetery. In fact, I did not go to Mass at all yesterday, which is ok, because it was not a Holy Day of Obligation.
Still . . .it's always good to attend Mass on any day, for any reason.
Saturday, May 23, would have been my stepdad's 89th birthday. He was a veteran of World War II.
Yesterday, May 25th, would have been Oppenheim's 59th birthday. He was the son of a Holocaust Survivor.
Thanks to all who have read my blog during its first year. I hope there will be many more, and I hope my blog has brought a few bright moments to your lives.
God bless. Thanks for reading.
I have been homeless since November of 2010. I consider myself blessed that I can sleep indoors, unlike many of my homeless friends, who have to spend nights outside, in all kinds of weather. I returned to my Catholic faith in 2005, after an absence of thirty years. Before that, I had already had an absence of about ten years. I tried to return to Holy Mother Church, but it didn't "take." Things were very strange in the '70's.
