First, let me say that I absoltely LOVE Pope Francis. Now, there are many reasons why some persons are without children. I personally did not marry until late in life, and in my younger years, it was considered wrong and sinful to have babies out of wedlock. Once I married, I realized that my spouse had many bad and sometimes frightening qualities which would have made having a child with him a very bad decision not only for me but for any children we would have had. Additionally, I have always had pets that were mostly “sent” to me by God and needed my help and love. Over the years they have been wonderful reminders to me of God’s love for me.
My question, exactly. What’s the background on Shannon’s mother?
