My father died in 1966 as a result of injuries suffered in a car accident.

He and my mother had been married 12 years and had 7 living children, the oldest 10, me in the middle just 5 and the youngest 1.

All seven of us were baptized and brought up Catholic.

His family were all Methodists, even having some preachers and several missionaries.

Before he died, he became Catholic, made a full confession, received the Eucharist and what was then called Last Rights.

His family never forgave my mother for his conversion.
