This morning I went to Mass and prayed especially for my mom on the 1-year anniversary of her death. I loved that it was Corpus Christi – the Feast of the Body of Christ. In the homily, we were reminded that we have Hope that we will one day be in the arms of Christ and that our loved ones are too. After Mass, I said some final Goodbyes. My friend the priest gave me a heartfelt blessing for protection. A friend gave me a care package of treats to take on the road and I felt pretty special. I picked up my grandson and he said his goodbyes as well to friends and family. Then we stopped at the cemetery, placed some flowers on the gravesite of his Nana and Papa, and prayed for them all. We made it to our first stop in time to rest. This time we’re headed south to go west. I am so grateful for the time I was able to spend with such loving and faithful friends. The time with my grandson continues to be invaluable. I feel so blessed.

I Found God today reflecting on goodbyes.
