St. Francis of Assisi, Midtown Manhattan, New York. The first time Barney and I met, some time in June of 2009, he brought me to this church. She must have been there before-- the old lady in red coat and red head cover. She must be in her late 80s or maybe early 90s now (I wonder about mortgage life insurance). Late in November, I have frequented the church and then and there I noticed her. She's always the first one to greet you when you enter the upper chapel. Her smile is so sweet that I always wish I could hug her, somehow that thought gives me confidence that everything is going to be all right. She was at the lower chapel, too, sitting in one corner holding her rosary, while I was crying my heart out. It wasn't in our plan but the church of St. Francis of Assisi has become the church where Barney and I run to every time we have a chance-- to visit or to hear mass together now. And she's there. Constantly giving everyone that welcoming smile. And she was there when we have finally completed our 9 masses in January 31, 2010. Now I can't get her out of my mind. It's funny but I have seen that same sweet smile in Grandma before. I really want to hug her. One day, I'll say hi. |
