Carmen died 2 years ago today. The battery powered Christmas candle that I placed in the bedroom window nearest my bed soon after her death is still faintly glowing, refusing to go out like all the other candles I lit at the same time. I know that she is still watching over me. Fr. Murphy, here at the seminary, has agreed to offer a memorial Mass for Carmen today at 7:00 A.M.
Much in my life has changed in the last 2 years. Life here at the Seminary has been good for me. But, I still miss Carmen. That sad hole in my life where she used to be just shows my humanity.
My God grant you consolation. At the same time, may the fact that her reality, as a soul, still continues, and always will, grant you peace and aid you in your Mission for our Creator.
