Richard Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 Well hello, my friends, it's been a long time! I bet loads of new Phatmassers are thinking "Who on earth is Richard???" Well I've not posted since ooh, back in March. I had a MAJOR lapse in my Faith, I'm afraid . Not that I stopped believing or anything that radical, I just found it very hard to feel in touch with God. I'm not going to Mass as much as I used too either (although I go occasionally). I'm finding it very hard at the moment, but I am hanging in there! Anyway, the good news is, I'm still here and still a believer ! Thanks to those who sent me e-mails etc. to find out where I was! You know who you are and you're instrumental in getting my faith back on track! Even better news is that my beautiful daughter, Charlotte has a place at our local Catholic Junior School. It's a lovely little school and our parish priest is head of the board of Governors. Maybe she'll turn out to be a better Catholic than her Dad! I'll try and spend more time at Phatmass over the coming weeks. I've got some really big decisions to make regarding work and my future so I could use the massed prayers of Phatmass to back me up! God bless you all Stay safe Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phazzan Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 Hey Rich, How's it going brother? How's that darling little daughter of yours, Charlotte, going? I haven't seen her for quite a while, but I'm sure she's as beautiful as always. I'm thinking about coming around on the weekend to catch up with you and your Mrs, will you be home? Anyway, I have to get back to work, but you just let me know if Saturday is alright, call me or just drop in for five mins and let me know. Take care of yourself brother See you then.
