Not always in jest Star. My Ma organised trips to Walsingham and Lourdes for the sick and elderly in her parish. The last one she did ended with one of the old ladies getting off the coach and being run over by a taxi. Everyone was in a panic and dialing 999. Not my mother. She knelt down, cradled the woman's head and said......Jesus Bridget, you always were the lucky one. Getting run over just after a priest's blessing in Lourdes......it's straight to heaven for you. True story.
