STAYING IN TOUCH

While visiting one the members of Mother of Sorrows Parish and a resident of our community, I asked for an idea for writing something in YCN and they said do something about "staying in touch". What a great thought! How many of us lose contact with relatives, friends, former neighbors, classmates and others as the years go by. Yet what a joy more often than not when we encounter that relative or friend or old neighbor! We wonder why we did not write, send a card, make a phone call. Today it can be an email or there is a more constant communication called twitter. The point is there is everything to be gained by staying in touch and so much to lose by not doing so. A little effort can go a long way to bring some sunshine, hope, joy, or just recognition that someone is not forgotten because you remember to stay in touch.
