On April 1, 1924, when my father was just a boy, he lost his mother when she was 35 years old. Still, when push came to shove, my father did remarkably well in this world. About one half-hour later, I started back down the steps and noticed my father situating the rosary in the most perfect way. Every case is different and had we acknowledged to my father how sick he was, he would have left us at least seven months earlier. I later prayed, "If it is your will to take my father, then grant us the strength to deal with the loss."
