Fatherhood is the connection. Mothers are great at guilt Catholicism- but it's fathers that teach us how to *be* Catholic. A Catholic who doesn't have a good father, is cut off from the religion in a way I never could be. A father who is Catholic and didn't have a father of his own will have some severe problems- he never learned to be a Catholic Father, so how can he be a Catholic Father to his children?

There's still time to do, to be. Especially the family part. You never know when you will be gifted. When it was not at all possible, when I was too old, when I lost all my family and was truly alone in the world, wonder of wonders, someone loved me and, miracle of miracles, a child came to us. And we are a family. Not your picture perfect kind, by any means, but MY family, nonetheless. And I am grateful to have them. Scottch...never give up, never surrender. And I can vouch that life is crazy, that is for sure. BUT, you’re not done yet. There’s still time to do, to be. Especially the family part. You never know when you will be gifted.
