On May 1st Monsignor Goering throw us a going away potluck at the cathedral. It was a wonderful, small gathering. Mostly my friends from the CCM group and the regulars at the Latin Mass. It was so meaningful to have them all take a little time out of their day to spend it with us. We are so blessed with wonderful friends and a wonderful church family here in Fargo.
These are a LOT of the kids' friends here in Fargo.
They are a great group of kids.
Eli couldn't stay for the potluck, but we needed a picture with him as well.
After the potluck my friends had a moving blessingway for me.
They picked out quotes and prayer intentions, wrote sweet messages for me, and helped create a rosary and charm bracelet.
Aren't they beautiful?!
The blessingway was just what I needed. I left feeling like I was going to be supported in my struggles to pack, move, and adjust to a new life. We cried and cried though. Saying goodbye is not easy. To think - I've seen most of them every week since then, but it was the first time we actually, as a group, had to acknowledge I was leaving.
