On Good Friday, we were all in the car on the way to see Katie in our parish's Passion Play. Lucy was in a talkative mode, so Chris was egging her on by asking her various random questions.
"Do you know what I do when I'm at work?" he asked her.
This has proven to be a nebulous concept for the girls over the years. When Katie was in kindergarten she told her teacher that Chris was "kind of a nurse." The other girls tend to just shrug and say, "he helps doctors somehow."
Lucy, however, did not hesitate. In her decisive and prompt way she immediately answered, "You bring people back alive."
When people ask me if it bothers Chris that he doesn't have any sons, I always just shake my head. They totally don't get it. He may not have someone to arm wrestle, but he has six little girls who adore the ground he walks on. He is absolutely and without rival their hero.
I mean, when I say they believe he can raise the dead, I am saying that quite literally.
