It must be mentioned here that whilst in Lourdes, You were known for your smiles. The hospitaliers and volunteers who knew You, which was not a surprise as we were there for 25 days, would always comment to Dad on your smile.
He’s got a lovely smile ...
It brightens up our day ...
It’s the most beautiful smile in Lourdes ...
Every time I see him at the baths, he never fail to give me that smile ...
He reminds us all to smile ...
I have never seen him without a smile ...
are the few warm comments that we will always remember.
You were quick to greet everyone with a bright grin and the occasional high five. It does not matter that You were lying flat down on a chariot. Clearly, the Holy Spirit is with You.
“Ah, Dah-nee- ell ...”
Yvonne repeated your name in the local accent.
She reached for your hand, and put a little woollen something into your palm.
You held that something up.
Arghhh ... :D
