back at hotel.
he rested with bryan while i cooked lunch. his appetite was good. it was about 4 pm then. 5 pm, we went for the benediction. we didn't join the procession though, just went directly to the underground basilica.
after that went back to hotel. now bryan and i are having dinner, while dans is taking a nap. will feed him when awake.
the choir thing was short lived.
that night, during the choir, there was a rosary meditation. it's really weird but during that time, my rosary broke. you can imagine my horror - cos i was panicking wondering what kind of sign that was.
anyway, that same night in the hotel room, it broke again another 2 times. this was wed night. on thursday, becos dans was not on top form, i couldn't participate in the choir - so that was the end of my lourdes singing career - i think mother mary is telling me to just focus on my son, and don't be so kepoh.
dans is letting me use his rosary, blessed by the pope, given to him by a man on the first day in the grotto. dans is using a huge one given by a red indian - you can't misplace it - it's big.
talk to you again. gotta go feed the child.
