A little bit back, I told my readers (reader?) about how I'm a bad Catholic and do not have my own rosary – but I took a wee bit of license there. In February, Anchoress had posted a link to a novena written for Terri. Since I didn’t have a rosary, but I DO have insane amounts of yarn, I decided to make my own rosary. I made it of a lovely, soft, deep olive green, variegated yarn, substituting small knots for the beads. After praying, I would twist it around into smaller loops until I could slip it over my wrist. I have worn it around my wrist ever since, except for yesterday when I wore it like a necklace. Now, being yarn, it is going to wear out eventually. Until it does, I will keep my Terri rosary. Since it has not been blessed by a priest or bishop, many Catholics might not even consider it a real rosary. But, I know differently. It has been blessed by my prayers, intentions, and my love for Terri.
Go with God, Terri. You loved. You were loved. You ARE loved…by so many.
