First Holy Communion

This weekend my dependent took first Holy Communion. D. took a group pic with classmates. Photographer was A.'s Cam. The reception was held at a great Italian restaurant (ESM). It was expensive!  $100 above what R. thought it would be. 

During down time of preparing for pics a black cat streaked out from the rectory and ran across all of us on the church grounds. It almost crashed into me! Everyone laughed and commented on THE BLACK CAT. During pictures the wind kicked in. All the girls  looked like THE FLYING NUN! Veils were blown in front of faces, to the sides, etc...it was hysterical! Sally Field would have been so proud. 

I was nervous. D was nervous.

 R, after two years of not participating in this religious rite, walks D. down the aisle with me. "Well, (D.) is my (child).  

 It took me a while but I finally realized what I was feeling about that. "Resentment". How dare you not lift a finger because of your beliefs, but now that the job is done you're going to walk D down the aisle with me, as if you've been taking D. to class all this time. The person I made friends with at Sunday school has/had the same issue with life partner. Never got an update from my friend, L. about the life partner's behavior and role.
