My mom's two chief concerns were: Were there cats in Heaven (there'd better be), and would her father, who died when she was 14, still be decades younger than she? Like your dad, she delivered these literal-minded zingers with a light irony that eased the real fear and mystery. She thought me too easily satisfied, I think, with my favorite line: "This day you shall be with me in Paradise." Whatever the communion of saints really is, I have no doubt they are now enjoying it, with all mysteries solved and all doubts healed.Brenda from Flatbushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04028764394435321917noreply@blogger.com
