Two unexpected gifts, two priceless treasures

How blessed I am . Several of the families who lost loved ones and whose cases I covered even before jury trials keep in touch with me.

Recently, I have heard from one of these wonderful families. We got to know each other under difficult circumstances. They were concerned about me with Fr. Eric's trial coming up.

I also received a gift today from someone who started out as a media colleague, with us covering court cases together, who has become a trusted and cherished friend. The gift was especially thoughtful since it has to do with the Catholic Church and the Blessed Mother.

I have not been going to church for a few months. My relationship with Jesus is still the same. My faith stronger. I miss my friends and parishioners but I am exactly where God wants me to be.

Friendships are not about how long you have known someone or how often you talk to someone.

Family is not blood, and has never been for me.

Both, my friend and the family that reached out to me today. Thank you.
