Mass
This evening was a Mass, dedicated to our babies, at the church of our friends Dave and Jean. The Mass was a quick service and strict Roman Catholic. I hadn't been to a Catholic service since I was a teenager and Lauren had never been - so it was very different from what we are used to. I think the some of the stricter church members, who are used to a smaller gathering, may have been suprised by the number of additional people that showed up as a result of us. It was nice to attend, have it dedicated, and to receive a copy of the Catholic Missal.
Seeing friends and family is always a bonus!
If you didn't attend, Lauren and I do NOT want you to feel out of place or odd about it. This was not an official memorial service or funeral. Besides a post on our blogs, we didn't formally invite anyone - so by no means was there any obligation or expectation to attend. You have all shown us how much you care and we again can't thank you enough. We love you all and wish everyone a very happy pre-Easter week!
