Viva the future

It was a strange few days for my family. We gathered in WI to celebrate the 100th birthday of my mother Viva. On her birthday, her beloved Pope Francis died. At the party people came from around the country. We talked about a great family friend that was now deceased, named Leo, whose children attended the event. Then we see this sign in Rome, we see a Pope from Viva’s adopted home town, and he takes the name Leo, all on my sister’s miracle birthday years after surviving a almost uniformly fatal disease. It’s these little coincidences that just makes me smile. Viva la Future.
