Much like Frances Mayes in Under the Tuscan Sun, I
have fallen in love with the Virgin Mary.
Like Mayes, I am not
Catholic, and certainly don’t pray to Mary. But her watchful gaze, and tender
look watch over me from several areas within my home, and like Mayes, I have
come to think of her as more like my beloved Aunt Mary. A friend and confidante. Someone to share my burdens and
woes with.
Here is another of
the Virgin Mary paintings that hang
within our home.
I don’t know the
artist. But I am in love with it. And one day, I will leave it to my
grandchildren. And pray that Mary will bring them the comfort she has brought
to me.
