The homily at Heather's Easter service was about discovering life that comes out of death. That is a great insight, one that we have all preached about over the years, but yet needs to be planted in our brains again and again. New life will come for us in Pittsburgh, and we will love it beyond belief. We are already planning our packing and getting ready for a move again. We have moved some twenty plus times since we were married. We were in Pittsburgh in our rectory for 18 years, and we have been in this house for six, but a move is a move. Time is staring us down now with both of us in our seventies. and we are looking forward to having these next years closer to family. That, after all is the point of all of this. Our family is extremely important to us and we love them very much. May God bless us in this move.

Easter and beyond
Rosie and I went to Cleveland to have Easter with our youngest daughter, Heather and her family. It was a marvelous time. Over the weekend time, we stopped in Pittsburgh to look at some condos that were available. We found one that we liked very much some twenty minutes from each of our elder daughters. We are looking forward to closing these real estate ventures, packing up and moving to our new home in Pittsburgh over the next couple of months. We have talked about little else.

I know the trips to Pittsburgh and Cleveland were both exciting and daunting, Dad. You and Mom are expert movers (and shakers!), yet moving can be so overwhelming. There's lots to do. I think you both are going to miss some wonderful things about Charleston. But we can't wait to have you back in the 'Burgh. Been thinking of you ever since we heard the news reports about the mine accident.
