Dad dream...
Lol. I just cc'd 7500centfish to an instagram comment I made about my dream... "I dreamed Ghost Dad was eating his anniversary cake and I had the sudden urge to interrupt him and do the hug cry thing! 😂"
We were at home and we had had some sort of get together and it was brought up where we should "celebrate" tomorrow, whether here again or Queens. It was decided we'd go to "Them Downstairs". So we arrived and I go down. I remember Mina approaching me trying to hug / attack me. But then someone made a comment nothing was prepared so we defaulted to going upstairs to "celebrate". There was then a shrine of sorts and a cake with pictures of Grandma and Dad on them. I remember trying take a pic of it, but people kept interrupting to get a piece of cake. I remember the table being tight against the wall and not being able to get around it. I then remember... Like I was able to see Dad, yet knew no one else could. He was actually eating a piece of his cake and I just had the sudden urge to hug him even when I knew I was the only one who could see him and I'd appear to be hugging nothing / crying into nothingness, but... I didn't care. As I said, he was also eating cake and I was like interrupting him as he was doing so. Lol... I then went to sit at the table again, but it had been moved to make more room. I was still a little weepy as we started prayers for the Dead.
As expected, they didn't come today, so Mom and I went to the cemetery to visit Dad and Grandma. Went to Chick-Fil A afterward.
Posted on Instagram for prayers for Dad. As always Fr. I faves it. Like... I wonder if he is aware who Mass is being said for. Would he have recognized by name alone it was for my Father?
I also posted on Twitter excepting prayers from #CatholicTwitter, but oddly I get interaction from my Keane Tweeps... It's weird... Today was someone from Portugal who I think at some point mentioned she's no longer practicing, but... I'm sure coming from Europe she at least gets it. I kinda felt weird because I didn't specify what the prayers were for exactly, but she said she'd pray for him, then asked if he was sick. No... Once again, it's weird... Asking to pray for someone who had died. Like some people would think is there a point? But like I said, it shouldn't be too weird, I guess. If anything pray for me? My other Keane tweep that has prayed for me or occasionally faves my posts is from Wales and she's mentioned she herself isn't practicing, but has made comments on how her Mother was hurting when the churches closed and how she misses Mass, etc. I then follow a lot of SA / Argentinian tweeps. For some reason Keane is big in Argentina and... Aside from enjoying the Pope comes from there I've seen very little in terms of Catholicism from them. The opposite actually...
Finished Signs of New Life. Don't know what to read next... The books I pulled out I have yet to read are:
In Silence With God, Benedict Baur
Orthodoxy, GK Chesterton
When the Church Was Young, Marcellino D'Ambrosio Ph.D.
Rediscover Catholicism, Matthew Kelly
The Fisherman's Tomb, John O'Neill
Eschatology, Joseph Ratzinger (Although I feel like I should read Introduction to Christianity, which I do not have yet...)
Jesus of Nazareth, Joseph Ratzinger
I also think I'm gonna read A Year With the Eucharist as my daily reader. Not thrilled it's like imitation leather and not like a paperback / hardcover.
Catholic reading for future reference.
Text. Lol. So I went to Chick Fil A, right. On the bag it says Guest: The Elizabeth. HAHAHA!!! I demand 7500centfish and kumquatqueen refer to me as The Elizabeth from now on. Thank you. And I have a silver sedan... 7500centfish then asked what I got Mom. Nothing... I got the wrap.

I wonder how many restaurants are in "my" parish boundary.
Purely hypothetical... But I want to know the answer to this!
