I have never made it this far! I don’t know whether to feel proud or to be miserable because I’m still pregnant and think I will be for the rest of my life. In the meantime, thank you all for the input on boy’s names. There were some awesome names suggested and we have picked… Continue reading 39 Weeks!
James Cardinal Hickey 1920-2004
Please pray for the soul of James Cardinal Hickey, archbishop emeritus of the Archdiocese of Washington, who died this morning at the age of 84. Cardinal Hickey once did me a great kindness.
