It's Getting to be a Lot Like Christmas Each Day

With all these wonderful visits from children and old friends from Massachusetts, and Florida, I currently  find myself awake at these hours waiting for the next days events.

Yet, we all need the time for rest and sleep.

Can you imagine what heaven may be like without the phyisical needs of the body, and considering the long and distinguished guest list, appart from our own Blessed Lord and Lady!

I have dozens of favorite movies that I love to share, imagine actually going to those moments in time, hidden from natural view, but actually witnessing the Passion and Crucifixion of Our Blessed Lord.  To see the Sorrows of Our Lady, as her lifeless Son is layed so tenderly in her arms!

I'm no poet, so I can't express my poor imagination for such things.  However, for these natural moments I get to share with Gerry Benitz, Paul Farynaz, my wife, my children, my parents and nephew, it is Christmas to me to lie here in bed at four in the morning waiting for an early breakfast - id est, waiting for Saint Nicholas to come.

Soon my old friend Carlos Johnson plans to also visit.

And even my father plans to come for a couple of days.

I can't thank God enough for all these great gifts.  I just pray for enough stength not to sleep through too much of it.  I thank you all for makng such a special time for me.

I wish my arms could embrace you all at once.
Hugs and kisses to you all,

I think I can roll over for a bit and wait for breakfast.
