God-Sisters
Have you ever just met someone & feel like you've known them all your life? Even though you're in a class to convert to Catholism with your double-x, alcoholic husband who was just told that pre-marital sex is a sin....even though the lady sitting across from you just pulled a puppy out of her purse....even though that same lady tells you 2 wks later that she's getting married....to the fellow standing behind her with a twinkle in his eye? This was how our friendship began.... It helped that neither one of us knew a rosary from a rhinestone & were the only gals in the class that needed to attend every week to prepare for our future as full -fledged Catholics . We even had the same GodParents(Bless you John & Mimi), who , despite our antics, managed to pull a couple of 60-something GodChildren thru, & that magical Easter weekend finally arrived. I was the first one to be Baptized. After getting hit with a gallon of cold water, I came up dazed & sputtering...flinging my wet hair all over Mimi...who was trying desperately to cover my soaked, silk -covered busoms...only to look up & see Dee grinning from ear to ear! Then Dee took the plunge, ( & I told her not to wear all that mascara) & the image of a crazed racoon with a wet squirrel on it's head came to mind! Giggle!! A few wks later, as we were conversing on our favorite church steps, Dee told me what a nice time they had on the boat with Father Jim...& winking her eye said" Now we're even!" Giggle!!
I can honestly say that I've never been the same since meeting that warm,wonderful, funny lady. She has imprinted on my heart & soul like no other & I was so looking forward to an AZ reunion. But I know what she would say..."Only the time & destination have been changed." So put in a good word for me & save me a place Dear GodSister, & I'll see you soon. In Christ's Love, Kassie
