Or so I seem to remember, but with the passage of so much time I could be wrong and since I didn't attend HS there I only know the name, two other Sisters there (St Martin) gave me with their kindness when I was a lost young soul.

I have had many "Nuncies" along the way. One of the ones I remember most fondly was Sr. Joachim. She always reminded me to 'consider the source.' At first it was in reference to someone who was very negative toward me..reminding me to just let it go...but...after her death especially it has come to mean so much more than that to me. Its come to be a reminder to consider the God who loves us and surrounds us with his wonder and grace no matter how far away he might seem in the midst of a struggle.

It's been about 50 years and I still remember her. My first formal lessons about God was through her teachings. She was a great religion teacher filled with excitement and enthusiams.

I'd have to say that my "Nuncie" has to be my late mom. She was always there to talk, and she'd listen if I was upset or cranky. Hi Sister Julie!
interesting card for your late sister. I’d have to say that my “Nuncie” has to be my late mom. She was always there to talk, and she’d listen if I was upset or cranky.

We had corresponded on and off into the 1970’s. But life and time slips by and before I knew it I had a granddaughter who was starting high school. My granddaughter while visiting got me reminiscing about my high school days and my favorite teacher. We all have that special teacher that we remember, with that deep gratitude but somehow never get the chance to express it. But I was fortunate enough with the help of the Internet to find her. Today we see one another, talk on the phone and email back and forth. It’s a real blessing and a wonderful relationship that we share. I found this quote kind of says it best for me… “Some people come into our lives and quietly go. Others stay for awhile and leave foot prints in our heart and we are never the same”.
