  1. I wasn’t aware of the whole “Trapper john” story. I knew about the dreams but as a happening after Trap saying he would pray for Dad! ….and then Philip being named after His grandpa. I mean, Dad and I finalized the decision on what to name Philip on the way to the hospital, between contractions. It’s not like naming Philip was a sentimentally ordained thing…..yet it was. Coincidence – I think not.
    It’s like that line from the opening title of the movie The Song of Bernadette …….
    “To those who believe in God, no explanation is necessary. To those who do not believe in God, no explanation is possible.”

  2. Robert (age 8) wanted to know, “Why does that man keep interrupting Mr. Frederick?”

  3. What a sweet story of your Emmett! I really like what your dad said in his interview about searching for Truth as a way to be a better Catholic and also it was really interesting to me that he fell in love with the Church and Jesus at the same time. It really shows how inseparable the Bridegroom is from the bride.
