While watching a "Save the children" commercial on television, our daughter Grace said to her dad, "Those poor children make me feel so sad," but her dad said, "Don't worry Grace, we send them money,"  and as she gratefully exhaled, she said, "Thanks dad, when I become a nun, I'm going to Calcutta to feed  the poor African children," to which I replied, "Good luck with that, but how then will you kiss your mother good- night?"

God is calling our Grace to himself, but he's making  me cry.

I think it probably hurts no matter who they leave you for. Even the Lord.

By the way, Grace seems appropriately named.

Why yes Sara, I will have probably two next year. Did I mention that? How did you know?!

Julie, God is taking the finest fruits for himself and leaving me with um.... trouble. Though I dearly love trouble.

Hey! I'll bet Blessed Louis Martin, St Therese's father, would be helpful in this matter. After all, he had five daughters go into convents. Of course, soon after he was placed in an insane asylum, but uh, not to worry... ;)
