I earned my Master of Theological Studies degree in 2015 and am now working on my doctorate. In terms of life according to the Queen, my dear daddy died in 2017, 13 months ago exactly. (My dad lived long enough to attend my MTS graduation ceremony.) His funeral was held at Queen of Heaven Church and it was beautiful. He was my rock who taught me about faith along with my mom who I have written about here. He prayed the Rosary seeking the intercession of the Queen of Heaven as often as he could, especially in his later years. He was holding a new Rosary I had gotten him earlier in the day (because his other had fallen apart from so much use) on the day he died. Now he and my mom, the other Queen in my life, are together in life everlasting and I miss them both. I have faith though, that one day, I will see them again.
I hope you are able to hang on to that same faith in your own lives dear readers. Death ends, but life does not. Life goes on forever.
For I know that my Redeemer lives,
and in the last day I shall rise out of the earth
And I shall be clothed again with my skin,
and in my flesh I shall see my God.
I will see for myself,
my own eyes, not another’s, will behold him.
Job 19:25-27a
