Mother Teresa holding our first-born.
~this photo was taken by a photographer from the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, a short distance from the Missionaries of Charity AIDS house in North East Washington, D.C. It was a VERY early morning Mass and our son, only six weeks old, was the first visitor she welcomed. He slept through the entire encounter. Mother Teresa was in a wheel chair and so small that they had a laundry detergent box under her feet. She thought our son was a girl and so she said, "I hope *she* becomes a Missionary of Charity."

Tom for his meal and how he fussed that it was too much.
