Padre Tomas

My Evangeline,

Heaven gained another beautiful spirit.  Father Tomas impacted my life in the best way.  I grew up listening to his teachings and it was because of him that I learned about God.  When I found out I was pregnant with you I decided to raise you a Catholic for that very reason.  I wanted you to grow up knowing God and I wanted to share my experience with you.  I grew up being around Father Tomas often but I never approached him directly.  I have an enormous amount of respect for him and I felt unworthy.  However, he would make comments to me here and there that made me feel like he noticed me.  It had been a very long time since I had seen him.  The night that you earned your wings your grandma called him.  I wasn't sure if he would come because it was really late and grandma left a message in the general mail box.  He came that next morning.  Father Tomas met you and baptized you.  I felt so honored that he heard the message and came out of his way to be with us.  I already knew that Father Tomas was heaven sent but this just confirmed it for me again.  He said that he knew you were in heaven and that knowing this should bring us comfort. He gave me hope and peace in a moment of despair.  I am very fortunate to have had someone like Father Tomas in my life.  And I am fortunate that God gave me the opportunity to share him with you.  I don't know if you've seen him yet but when you do you'll know what I was talking about.

I love you

Until we meet again my angel,
Your mama
