That always seemed to be our song and when I heard the original version with just Nat King Cole, it was almost like you wanted me to know you were right there with me. I know to some that might sound crazy and I know many people just don’t understand and that’s ok. I remember knowing before I was even engaged that this would be our song that we danced to because we used to sing it together. You were always so supportive of my singing. I remember getting a karaoke machine for Christmas and being so excited because I could sing and even record my original songs. I would eagerly ask you to come and listen to me and you would share how much I reminded you of Grandma. You even told me that she recorded a song called “A Journey to a Star”. I tried so hard to find that song or recreate it, somehow by listening to you sing it. We definitely had a strong bond when it came to music. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/654beb8b3a894c058d3a0d35/3a9c107c-81d4-482c-87ba-24025ed19855/DSC_7709.JPG Letters to Mom and Dad - Letters to Mom and Dad: Where Do I Begin? - This was our last Mother’s Day together. It was before I became a mom myself. I remember feeling so blessed to have been able to spend that weekend with you, especially because I was still working in retail. But I had wonderful bosses who knew what was going on with you and knew how important it was for me to be with you. I wish I had realized sooner just how precious our time together was. I wish I had made a more conscious effort to spend more time with you. https://www.jenniferjthomas.com/letters-to-mom-and-dad/an-unexpected-pilgrimage monthly 0.5 2025-11-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/654beb8b3a894c058d3a0d35/448daa40-9fe6-4c81-acdb-19e78cd86d37/Attach278619_20251113_113808.jpg Letters to Mom and Dad - An Unexpected Pilgrimage - As my friend and I entered Little Flower Catholic Church (yes, that is the real name of the church), I was overcome with emotion that I cannot explain. A beautiful ossuary enclosed in a glass case was poised in the center of the church. We joined the line that had already begun forming, as many were anxious to be near Thérèse. And even though I was feeling emotion while we waited in line, I wasn’t prepared for how I felt when it was my turn to walk towards the ossuary. Mom and Dad, I knelt down in front of her and held back tears. I have a rosary necklace that I bought a while back and felt compelled to hold it up to the glass. My hands grew warm and I was a bit worried that I would leave a sweat mark on the glass. I closed my eyes and prayed. I honestly don’t even remember what I prayed, specifically but I gave thanks. I wish you could have seen it. I wish you had been there with me. Actually, I think you were. At one point, I remember thinking of both of you and your funerals. They both seem like a blur right now. Dad, I remember you kneeling during Mom’s funeral mass and being so worried about your knees since you had just had knee replacement surgery. I thought of that as I knelt before Thérèse. https://www.jenniferjthomas.com/letters-to-mom-and-dad/happy-anniversary-mom-and-dad-https/wwwjenniferjthomascom/blog-page-url/new-post-title monthly 0.5 2025-10-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/654beb8b3a894c058d3a0d35/9e1cb016-2ac1-41e0-b0b6-21a414527da1/20251020_165307%7E3.jpg Letters to Mom and Dad - Happy Anniversary, Mom and Dad - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/654beb8b3a894c058d3a0d35/d1e76cab-22e3-4164-a934-fbab86b9ec99/20251020_165307%7E3.jpg Letters to Mom and Dad - Happy Anniversary, Mom and Dad - After you both passed away, it was given to me. It now hangs in my home and my children know who you both are because they see you every day. You are a part of their lives in a way I never imagined but in a profoundly beautiful way. There are days when I stop and look at this picture and think of it as if you were looking down on me and my family. I miss you both. I wish I could talk to you and hear your voices. I wish I could ask you for your advice on so many things like marriage and parenting. And even though I know I can “talk to you”, it’s just not the same as having you her. It’s only been recently that I realized I can ask for you to intercede for me and those I love. Actually, for anyone. And even if you are still in purgatory, it actually helps you get to Heaven. https://www.jenniferjthomas.com/letters-to-mom-and-dad/a-beautiful-day-to-grow-in-faith-https/wwwjenniferjthomascom/blog-page-url/new-post-title monthly 0.5 2025-05-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/654beb8b3a894c058d3a0d35/76d860f7-d063-4342-94d7-9d5cb6693dbe/20250524_142019.jpg Letters to Mom and Dad - Growing in Faith - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.jenniferjthomas.com/letters-to-mom-and-dad/1zpz4lfpzu0anxbb7p0z7yf5b3azs9-https/wwwjenniferjthomascom/blog-page-url/new-post-title-f3a2r-r8slz-wyj9b-mds28 monthly 0.5 2025-02-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/654beb8b3a894c058d3a0d35/50deb762-9665-4593-a81f-63cc0d1b54f1/processed_1000015694.jpg Letters to Mom and Dad - Just a Quick Note... https://www.jenniferjthomas.com/letters-to-mom-and-dad/1zpz4lfpzu0anxbb7p0z7yf5b3azs9-https/wwwjenniferjthomascom/blog-page-url/new-post-title-f3a2r-r8slz-wyj9b monthly 0.5 2025-02-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/654beb8b3a894c058d3a0d35/b55259c6-a49f-46ae-a515-de7d67a28318/Embracing+Your+Fiat.jpg Letters to Mom and Dad - Embracing Your Fiat - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.jenniferjthomas.com/letters-to-mom-and-dad/1zpz4lfpzu0anxbb7p0z7yf5b3azs9-https/wwwjenniferjthomascom/blog-page-url/new-post-title-f3a2r-r8slz-caw2l monthly 0.5 2025-01-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/654beb8b3a894c058d3a0d35/1736086658805-VR6839HSL1FT405CMLYH/Praying+with+Our+Mother.jpg Letters to Mom and Dad - Praying with Our Mother - Make it stand out *Originally published on Catholicmom.com as part of the Family Rosary (an apostolate founded by Father Patrick Peyton) and Catholic Mom daily series dedicated to the Rosary for the month of October. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/654beb8b3a894c058d3a0d35/071e97ba-ab19-4564-8290-fa8b82c278fe/20241024+JThomas.jpg Letters to Mom and Dad - Praying with Our Mother - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.jenniferjthomas.com/letters-to-mom-and-dad/1zpz4lfpzu0anxbb7p0z7yf5b3azs9-https/wwwjenniferjthomascom/blog-page-url/new-post-title-f3a2r-r8slz monthly 0.5 2025-01-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/654beb8b3a894c058d3a0d35/6a710d95-d152-4d7f-965c-c01c237f6722/It%27s+Been+a+While.jpg Letters to Mom and Dad - It’s Been a While . . . - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.jenniferjthomas.com/letters-to-mom-and-dad/1zpz4lfpzu0anxbb7p0z7yf5b3azs9-https/wwwjenniferjthomascom/blog-page-url/new-post-title-f3a2r monthly 0.5 2024-07-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/654beb8b3a894c058d3a0d35/d43e41fe-9fe3-4ee7-bbfc-2f1cc5ffab94/In+His+Presence.jpg Letters to Mom and Dad - In His Presence https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/654beb8b3a894c058d3a0d35/fe5d1b6a-f747-4fd7-a0dd-3b614ee11a2b/IMG_8970_20240421_091140.jpg Letters to Mom and Dad - In His Presence Emily Jaminet, Mary Ruth Hackett, Jennifer Thomas, and Elizabeth Tomlin https://www.jenniferjthomas.com/letters-to-mom-and-dad/1zpz4lfpzu0anxbb7p0z7yf5b3azs9-https/wwwjenniferjthomascom/blog-page-url/new-post-title monthly 0.5 2024-04-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/654beb8b3a894c058d3a0d35/c712b7c8-0b5c-4e41-bf09-ef901683875f/1000010297.png Letters to Mom and Dad - Surrendering to His Will https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/654beb8b3a894c058d3a0d35/d782f072-59cd-43bd-b798-e31944355689/20240331_133038%7E2.jpg Letters to Mom and Dad - Surrendering to His Will - Make it stand out Easter 2024 https://www.jenniferjthomas.com/letters-to-mom-and-dad/4bk1k58isrl3dggcpjq5214svhxufn-https/wwwjenniferjthomascom/blog-page-url/new-post-title monthly 0.5 2024-04-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/654beb8b3a894c058d3a0d35/28f3fd83-1065-41e6-92a9-6ea0f8524218/1000010298.png Letters to Mom and Dad - Choosing To Do The Hard Thing https://www.jenniferjthomas.com/letters-to-mom-and-dad/a-memorable-year monthly 0.5 2023-12-30 https://www.jenniferjthomas.com/appearances-and-speaking-1 daily 0.75 2025-12-27 https://www.jenniferjthomas.com/appearances-and-speaking-1/wcat-radio-and-tv-presents-patrick-ohearn-on-the-pilgrimage-of-a-lifetime-https/wwwjenniferjthomascom/blog-page-url/new-post-title monthly 0.5 2025-12-27 https://www.jenniferjthomas.com/appearances-and-speaking-1/hope-for-the-journey-y5led-pncgf monthly 0.5 2025-12-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/654beb8b3a894c058d3a0d35/5beaa69e-aba4-4853-ae10-fda129943a0e/1.jpg Appearances and Speaking - Hope For the Journey: Ladies Advent by Candlelight Dinner 2025 - God’s Will Be Done Watch the video of my presentation on YouTube!
