What a day this has been. I have never found it so hard to get through singing a Mass as much as today. We did the two Masses, and had a big reception for Fr. Bill.
To say I am tired, is to put it mildly. My eyes are burning, and my knees just feel weak.
The second Mass was the hardest. At the end of Mass we sang two closing hymns. Towards the end of the second one, it started to get to be to much. We could see the congregation below us, lined up to say goodbye to Fr. Bill. We were all starting to tear up, as were all the people listening to us. When we finished the song, the congregation applauded us, and I don't mean small applause, I mean thunderous applause. The choir simply fell apart, and all the emotions we had to hold in, well, they came out. I tell you, I love my choir! We are such a close group, and we did a good thing today.
Thank you all for the many good wishes, and prayers you sent my way.
Francine

You are never far from our thoughts and prayers Francine. THAT is what it means to have TRUE friends even though a lot of us have never met face to face :) |
