Sunny - She Who Removed Gloom and Tears

Sunny

Asleep in Dad's hands

On Dad's Lap

Cuddling

Forget: the news that the Catholic hierachy and the people in general blew it when they blew-off the Almighty and the Bride of the Holy Ghost at Fatima.  Forget, too, that we will pay dearly for our indifference;

Forget: the news that as a consequence of our collective disobedience,  Russia plots with its allies. They are surrounding us in our Southern hemisphere, the Middle East, Europe, the Ukraine, etc.;

Forget: that Humanism has replaced God;

Forget: the news that children are selectively abused, used, ignored, spit out like garbage and killed in and out of the womb;

Forget: that many in our nation deliberately ignored warning signs that the man they wanted as president was a low-down marxist, who intended to put those who love deviancy into positions of power;

Forget: that blackmail is being used at will to keep criminality hidden,  as perverted rats in government; the military, the churches, the media, and the legal institutions plot and execute abominations;

Forget: that women are forced to abort their babies in certain countries, not that we will escape it;

Forget: that women have long forgotten their sacrificial role as protectors and nurturers of their children;

Forget: that men have long forgotten their sacrificial role as protectors of the family;

Forget: that madison avenue has convinced many that they are sex objects and little else;

Forget: that priests can no longer walk among us and receive a grateful smile  for their sacrifice as an Alter Christus; now we wonder if they are narcissistic sexual predators and thieves;

Forget: that the sacrament of marriage is being destroyed by politicians and their wives who should know better;

Amidst putridity, pause briefly, smile, and remember a loyal member of a family -  a noble one of the species rodent, who brought gifts of smiles, patience in suffering, examples of loyalty, and happiness that will last well beyond her brief two-years on earth.

 Who would have thought that a brief ray of hope would come from the "[l]east of these:" a rodent named, Sunny?

St. Francis, welcome the special spirit that was an innocent, lovingly known as, Sunny.  "A big, big soul in a tiny body."

My thanks to the family that allowed me to use these pictures, and who shared their love story about mom's morning coffee with, Sunny, who was part of the family's greeting-entourage when dad came home from work.  C.F.
