| Elena's portrait of Dany |
She said that it was a picture of him and that he had to bring it to Mass and show it to the priest. Good father that he is, Dany complied.
It so happened that there was a retired priest filling in for the regular one for the noon Mass today. This priest has a special story. He was once married with eight children. But, his wife died of Alzheimer's at an early age. After nursing her through the illness and raising their children, he went to the Bishop and offered the remaining years of his life as a priest. He quit his job as a computer programmer and went through the seminary. I don't know how long he's been ordained. I just know that right now he is retired from full-time ministry and fills in for priests around the diocese as needed.
Well, it was this priest who said Mass today, and Dany showed him Elena's picture since he knew he would appreciate the work of a little child. The priest even wrote a little note on her picture!
Sweet story, huh?
