“This was the day of my first holy communion in the spring of 1984. My Mother is clearly unhappy about something. Not sure what is going on with my Dad. I appear to be zoned out completely. I remember being hot and uncomfortable. It was just not a good day.”

“My son recently celebrated his 8th grade confirmation in our small-town church. I didn’t notice the personal space violation imposed upon his brother until I went through them later in the day, and had already shared them with our entire family. I love this child.”

“Photo of my cousins wedding. At first it looks like a normal wedding photo but please draw your attention to the priest in the background. This was completely unexpected.”
