holy father (2)

i was a confirmation sponsor for my cousin, which is just really funny if u know me. i walked into the church and down to the school cafeteria where we were meeting and lining up to be 'touched by the holy spirit'. the religion teacher in charge of this lovely catholic tradition, who was a real bitch, said some words and then welcomed the priest. i looked at him and felt sick. it was him. of course it was him. st. gerad magellens pastor. eds parish. one of the priests at the funeral. he came up to me afterwards and said, 'your ed's niece, right? you were the one that took care of him?' 'yes, (but i didnt do quite a good enough job, did i?). its good to see you'.
