Today would have been my father's 83rd birthday. My day was very full with things to do. Still, I thought I might go to the mausoleum and say the rosary for him. It's a beautiful cold, but sunny, day. Then it occurred to me that maybe I should say the rosary at home and get his car washed to honor him. I know that sounds funny but my father was so meticulous about the appearance of his car, I actually thought getting it washed might please him. I could just see him chuckling and saying, "I'd rather you get the car washed than go to the mausoleum." I laughed at the thought and then did just that, saying the rosary for him at home after.
Anyway, Happy Birthday, Dad. We all really miss you a lot.
What a lovely way to remember him! On this anniversary of his birth, my prayers for eternal memory for your dear father!
