The reality is really starting to settle in with the services beginning. It's still so weird that he is gone. I keep finding myself looking around for him, then I realize he is the reason we are all gathered. We are there to say good-bye. This is the last time we get to see him. Of course now, it's not him anymore. It is just his body that is left behind. His soul has left. It's still hard to deal with. I know he is free from pain now. He was such a selfless person. He was always worried about others more than himself. He was never mean to anyone. He was goofy and always made people laugh, even if it was at his craziness. There will never be anyone quite like my Tio Philip. He was too young, but I guess God had his own plan for him. Now he will be watching down on us. Please pray for him. He was only 46 when he passed away a week and a half ago. I think I was still in shock and disbelief until I saw him in that coffin today. I know he is gone now. Please pray for my family, this is a hard one. It was so unexpected...We have the funeral services this week, so that makes it really hard to focus on studying for my midterm. My mind keeps wandering. Pray that I am able to focus and do well on this test. Pray that we are strong enough to get through yet another death. Thank you and God Bless.

The Pope

After getting all of Pope Benedict's luggage loaded into the limo, (and he
doesn't travel light), the driver notices that the Pope is still standing
on the curb.
"Excuse me, Your Holiness," says the driver," Would you please take your
seat so we can leave?"
"Well, to tell you the truth," says the Pope, "they never let me drive at
the Vatican when I was a Cardinal, and I'd really like to drive today."
"I'm sorry, Your Holiness, but I cannot let you do that. I'd lose my job!
And what if something should happen?" protests the driver, wishing he'd
never gone to work that morning.
"Who's going to tell? Besides, there might be something extra in it for
you," says the Pope with a smile.
Reluctantly, the driver gets in the back as the Pope climbs in behind the
wheel. The driver quickly regrets his decision when, after exiting the
airport, the Pontiff floors it, accelerating the limo to 105 mph.
(Remember, he's German.)
"Please slow down, Your Holiness!" pleads the worried driver, but the Pope
keeps the pedal to the metal until they hear sirens. "Oh, dear God, I'm
gonna lose my license -- and my job!" moans the driver.
The Pope pulls over and rolls down the window as the c op approaches, but
the cop takes one look at him, goes back to his motorcycle, and gets on
the radio.
"I need to talk to the Chief," he says to the dispatcher. The Chief gets
on the radio and the cop tells him that he's stopped a limo going a
hundred and five.

"So bust him," says the Chief.

"I don't think we want to do that, he's really big," says the cop.

The Chief exclaims ," All the more reason!"

"No, I mean really important," says the cop with a bit of persistence.

The Chief then asks , "Who ya got there, the Mayor?"

Cop: "Bigger."

Chief: " The Governor?"

Cop: "Bigger."

Chief: "The President?"

Cop: "Bigger."

"Well," said the Chief, "Who is it?"

Cop: "I think it's God!"

The Chief is stumped, " You been drinking, John? "

Cop: " No Sir."

Chief : " Then what makes you think it's God?"

Cop: "He's got the Pope as a chauffeur."

For this New Year and our new beginning, lets keep in mind what Mother Teresa said:

"People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered; forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies; succeed anyway.

If you are honest and sincere, people may deceive you; be honest and sincere anyway.

What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight; create anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous; be happy anyway.

The good you do today will often be forgotten; do good anyway.

Give the best you have, and it may never be enough; give your best anyway.

In the final analysis, it is between you and God; it was never between you and them anyway."
