I every time spent my half an hour to read this weblog’s content every day along with a cup of coffee.

Today is the funeral for Younger Son’s classmate who committed suicide last week. He’s asked to attend, so I’ll be taking him. It’s gonna be a sad day. Please remember the boy and his family in your prayers today.

Parenting is not about inoculating our kids from the pain and tragedy life throws at them – it’s about giving them the skills to deal with the pain and tragedy that will inevitably come their way.

UPDATE:  We’re back from the funeral – it was held at our ‘home’ parish.  I have many things to say about it, later…but suffice it for now to say I will be making arrangements to have my future funeral held at any other parish but that one.  Lord have mercy!
