Hi! I am 40 yrs old, and a single mother of 2 adorable boys, Michael Robert (7 yrs old), and James Ian (6 yrs old).Their father walked out on us when I was 7 months pregnant with Jamie. So for the past 4 1/2 yrs I've been trying to raise them on my own. Thank-God for extended families! I would never had made it if not for my mom and dad, sisters and brother. Each have helped out time and again in their own unique ways.

About 3 years ago, I felt a great lack in my life, but didn't know just what was missing.As I was flipping through the cable channels one night, I came upon a program about The Blessed Virgin Mary appearing around the world, especially in Medjugorje and Garabandal. I became entranced, having been unaware all this was going on. I felt a strong desire to pray the rosary, which I hadn't done in years.( I was raised Roman Catholic, but had fallen away in my teens.) I didn't even know if I had one in the house! As I searched, all I could find was the crucifix. I thought about going upstairs and borrowing a rosary off my mother, then decided I could wait until pay day to buy one. Suddenly Jamie came into the room and said, "Here's your beads mommy." And in his outstreched hand was the rosary beads! Mind you I never told either boy that I was looking for those beads...I guess Our Lady wanted me to start right away!

That night started me on my journey back to The Roman Catholic church. I've still got a very long way to go, and much to learn. But I've made some very good friends on the Catholic Mothers Internet Connection, and learned alot there too!

I welcome any comments, email me at cathmomma@aol.com.

May God bless you!
