The Visitation

We visited The Visitation, the convent where my mother attended high school. Here's Michael, entering the chapel doors that our mother passed through many times as a young woman. Millie, her classmate and best childhood friend, her "cradle friend," as Millie said, told me that my mother was "the sweet one that calmed us all down." My mother loved The Visitation, kept in touch with the Sisters there and, after moving back to Mobile when my dad retired from the Navy, attended retreats at the convent.
