Postulatum
Although I've been working up to this moment for a long time, there is still something different about taking the first "official" step in this vocation journey.
Today, I am a postulant.
Last night I cried when I realized I missed my family dinner.
It's not that I was so sad about that particular event, but it was the first
time I realized what it will feel like to miss out on all those family events.
Of course I'll see my family again...I'm only 40 minutes away...but, still...
it's different.
On the other hand, I grinned from ear to ear as I was welcomed to my new house with the Daughters of Charity.
