I apologize for the “radio silence” here at the blog. I’m on Day Five of sleeping at the hospital with my mom after her hip replacement surgery on Monday. Soon, I hope to have a post about all I’ve learned from this amazing week spent in her company and amidst so many compassionate health care workers. Until then, I’m very grateful for this week’s recap of all that I missed while spending this time with my hero, Mom.

I’m grateful to my friend John Clem, O.F.S. for this week’s Top Catholic Tweets:
