A Lovely Story

Coping with mom's death

Katherine knew her mom was going to die, she thought she was prepared for it, she could keep her sadness inside while she was working, she felt like she was anesthetized, in her car tears ran through her cheeks, and when she was at home, she was just in so much heartbreak.

After a month she just said, "I need to talk to someone" she remembered that when she was little her mom talk to a priest when she just needed to talk to someone, she thought that maybe talking to a priest could help her.

The next morning, she got up early she visited the church were her niece and nephew did their first communion, her sister Jenifer was volunteering there a couple of years after, she knew there was a 7am mass, she was there at 7am, after mass she waited until everyone left, walk up to a woman just before she was going into the sacristy

- hi good morning,

- good morning

- may I speak to a priest?

- the priest that was just hear is in the main office, you can ask for him there, you go straight through this hall, outside you will see a double door that's the side entrance to the main office, you can ask there.

- thank you

She walked to the double door, open and walked to the reception area,

It was in the center of a somewhat large room

she waited, she could tell that someone just left and will be there in a minute, an elegant elder lady walked over greeted her with a nice smile

- good morning may I help you?

- good morning, yes, may I speak with a priest?

- do you have an appointment?

- no, this is my first time here

- let me ask Father Billy, he just celebrated mass he is with someone right now, I am sure he can see you afterwards

she picked up the phone to call Father Billy's office

at that time father John walk through the reception area to his office, he saw a tall woman, with long brunette hair with soft highlights standing waiting to be attended, he noticed her, she was standing straight, well dressed, well spoken, she didn't see him.

- Father Billy can see you after his 8am appointment, sit down please

- thank you so much.
