It’s official! Received my three copies of the May 2023 Saint Anthony Messenger yesterday.
I remember distinctly as a 7-year-old I wanted to be a dad and a writer when I grew up. This article is a realization of that dream.
Thanks to everyone who has supported me during this process: my wife, my mom & dad, the editor of Franciscan Media, and to you my readers and supporters of The Simple Catholic blog!! You kept me going during the days and weeks I struggled with depression.
Finally, I’m grateful for God and all the graces He has granted me and opportunities to develop my writing over the years. 
P.S. I’m not crying my eyes are leaking tears of joy.
P.P.S. Here’s a link to the article if you’re interested in reading:
