My uncle passed last night, and I am handling funeral plans (3rd one in a year), so my mind was very focused on the funeral.

It was snowing heavily here last night when I went out to the hospital after he passed. There is only one priest in this small city, and he is in the process of being transferred as of January 1. I only knew that the new priest was from India. I heard his name once but couldn't remember it. I was waiting for him to call me.

I answered the phone this morning, and I heard "Hello, Um Dun." I said, "Oh, is this Father Um Dun?" The man on the other side of the phone said, "No, this is Rob, um dun shoveling your snow?!" {#emotions_dlg.blink}
