Very moving and heartrenching. You have to walk in someone else’s shoes to truly realize what they are going through.
May God sustain you and His most Holy Mother protect you from all harm.

Your application of Shakespeare’s “undiscovered country” in not only impressively imaginative and rich– it is also poignantly profound given the context and situation. You’re a very strong, resilient, and sensitive man.

I think of Mom every day and I am sometimes reminded of our visits together to Concord. We followed the same route visit after visit and at a specific juncture before exiting Rt. 93, she would always pull from her pocketbook the same crumpled up directions she had someone jot down for her initially. We would have a chuckle over it together. I would always say how I longed for the day she felt secure enough in my driving abilities to forget to produce the little piece of paper from her purse. When after a couple of years of visiting Gordon together I finally had a feeling that I had accomplished that goal… then I missed the exit.

Father,

Thank you for sharing these beautiful thoughts and memories. I am glad the picture of your mom and aunt was returned to you. I also love the way in which it was found.

You have a special intercessor in your mom and I can only imagine how proud of you she must be.

I am sorry for the suffering you are enduring, but at the same time you are allowing Christ to make all things new through you. And like Mary was for Jesus, your Mom is there for you as well.

My prayers for you continue and I will unite my holy hour and Sunday Mass with yours.
May God Bless you and Mary keep you!

Never give in–never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.
Sir Winston Churchill, Speech, 1941, Harrow School

full quote for you father.

Dear Father
What a beautiful post. Thank you for sharing it. You are in my thoughts and my prayers always. Please pray for my mum Irene waiting for open heart surgery and keep her safe. Our mothers and fathers are, who make us the people we are, and i know your mother would have been so proud of you fighting on for the justice you so richly deserve. God bless you always

love and blessings

Father, I pray your mother rests in peace knowing there are mothers on earth praying for you. I expect Our Lady got together with her to send you some spiritual mothers to look out for you down here. What a wonderful miraculous event, the finding of the photograph, I believe strongly in miracles. May Our Lady wrap her mantle around you and protect you from all harm.
