April 21 is my buddy Bob's 99th birthday, so after mass today, Sister Judy announced it would be his birthday and everyone applauded!!!  He stood up and was waving to the crowd like a rock star.....very sweet.  Bob and I have been sitting together at mass for about 4 or 5 years now.  When one of our daughters was here for Christmas a few years ago, she met Bob and promptly reported to her sisters that "Mom has a church boyfriend!"  So I am posting this photo taken today after mass of my church boyfriend and me.....I couldn't be more honored than to call this man my friend.
