Mass

I remember in high school having the Archbishop come to school and say Mass for something. It was shortly after the church allowed girls to be on the alter as servers. My job was to hold head dressing he wears. Of COURSE my Grandma and Grandpa Shoemaker were there and after Mass was over, Grandpa came over to me and was crying because he was SO proud! All this time later I can still see his face and chuckle about it.

Andrew had his second Mass today and Grandma and Papa Shoe came. Andrew was the proudest candle carrier ever I think! The day went on and nothing was said until Papa Shoe called to tell Andrew tonight how proud of Drew he was.

I just had to smile. Not only is a great-Papa Shoe crying somewhere. But Papa Shoe was pretty proud too! Can we say like father like son?
