It was on fire when I laid down on it.

Lordy, trying to get the hang of all this again. Thank you!Welcome back!
Haha - thank you!Welcome back!
Thank you!Welcome back!
Thank you!Welcome back!
No, you're good and thank you!Welcome - (back? sounds wrong since I'm only here for 3 1/2 years)
LOL I get it! For me, it was the Eucharist that got me there originally and what drew me back as well. Hey, we're in good company!I'm 68 and my wife and parents also died during the time you were away. It's that time of life, really, at least for one's parents. But cruel to lose a younger brother and a husband so early. I too am drawn back to the Catholic church by these events, not because of any strong belief (I am a bit of a sceptic) but because it helps to put their life and death, and my own, into the context of the sweep of humanity, history and tradition. One feels less alone, thinking of all those who "have gone before us marked with the sign of faith........Matthias, Barnabas, Ignatius, Marcellinus, Peter, Felicity, Perpetua, Agatha, Lucy, Agnes, Cecilia, Anastasia and all the saints...". And the people are nice, and I can sing there.
Oh my gosh, I totally remember you! Thank you!I remember you! You kept the "Post Your Pic" thread alive for a long time, too.
Welcome back!
I love that Dylan Thomas poem by the way.Welcome back!
Haha!I know, right? Wait until you read your posts from back then and you might feel ancient! (At least I sometimes feel I am when I do that. )
I don't know if I'm doing this right but thank you!Welcome back!!!
Wow, so much has happened over the past six or seven or even more years. Anyway, here I am! Ta-da! OK so in a nutshell - I have moved twice, my husband passed away unexpectedly (2020), I left the Roman Catholic Church and came back after my husband died (I only left it because he was such a strong Christian but not a Catholic), and I have several new grandbabies and several have grown up! It's crazy - hey, I got a young start. Anyway that's it in a nutshell but of course there's a whole lot more. Oh, both my parents and my younger brother have also passed away. Ugh. Lots of loss but I am still kicking! I am about to turn 61 by the way.

Thank you so much, it's so good to be back!@Kathryn!! Good to see you!
So sorry to hear about your husband, parents and brother, but congrats on your new (-ish) grandkids.
I've often seen your name come up in older threads over the years and wondered where you'd gotten to.
Welcome back!
Thank you so much!Welcome back!
Ha! That's a good one!Welcome back.
