Ordinary Time

Back to ordinary time.

10 years ago today, I lost my father - and 103 years ago today, my grandfather was born. So for me, 29 January is a sort of an "alfhar" feast day, a feast of my fathers, at least on the paternal side of my family. My mother's father was born 26 March 1910 and died 23 March 1999.

Given that I'm American, I do have a Father's Day in June wherein I can remember all the male ancestors in my family line - and I have to admit, I know very few of them. Sad but true.

Sunday begins the nine-day Feast of Arts, Works & Healing! :)
