...compare Michelle in the first posts with this Michelle!

As someone who has seen her roughly weekly, I can tell you that this is one lady who has done the work.

She has let tears do what tears can do, humor do what humor can do, and prayer what prayer can do. This takes the courage of free will and she has used that WELL.

Because... she knows love when she sees it. Free will, with the discerning eye of love, is POWERFUL.

Plus she's smart as all get-out.


Hi, Michelle. :~) Yeah. Yer a role model now, AND a leader. We talk about our leaders.

BTW, that sugar thing? Guess what the CS's now take to parish suppers (I suppose you'll have to miss tonight's due to immune issues). A pile of apples. A few on the food table and a few on the dsessert table.

I'll try to remember to take a charged player for tonight. If I do, I'll buzz around in my scooter to catch some of the happy sound of supper-buzz in addition to the EP service that follows. After the EP, BTW, Ed and fam are doing a private columbarium thing... I'll have the recorder then, too. I think he would like knowing you might be "there."

I gotta go find and charge a recorder!
