News of death announced during a weekday mass
Triggered wonderful memories amidst the shock
Made me emotional. I sobbed.
Images from the past came
One...during my daughter’s wedding.
He officiating.
Sincerely expressing his delight
And saying he is happy to see
children grow up before his eyes
Getting married.
The videographer caught me wiping a tear when I heard him say this.
I did not know he was interested in or noticed them.
Then at his funeral mass.
Our lives when he was with us as pastor
Flashed before my heart not just my eyes
They filled it.
Before his funeral mass
When I read the write-up on the program
And came to the name of our parish on the program
Again, a sinking feeling in my heart I felt
And I cried with sadness.
Thanks, Fr Mike Decewicz for being part
Of the our lives as a young
Growing family.
