My brother picked me up and we kept riding around the shopping plaze in circle.
He said he had something to tell me. He asked me, if Kimmy was dating an older man
and I knew about it would I tell him. As he said this the third time I got upset and said
"IS Kimmy dating an old man, my God she is only 15!!"
"NOOOOO" he said, it's about Katie. I wonder as my daughter Katie, now 19 was married
for a year to an old man of around 26. He went on to explain that Katie was pregnant and
that her husband was pushing her to have an abortion. My mind was in turmoil and my heart
was crying and I didn't know from that second how to deal with this. Katie was weak and
would do what her husband wanted as I didn't feel I had a chance to win this battle.
Katie knew that there was no way I could condone abortion that I cherished every baby
and would want this baby. I tried to talk with her but her husband had already made an
appointment for her to have an abortion. All I could do is pray from my heart and hope that
she would feel it. When I was with her I was silent and could not even speak. Tears would
roll down my cheeks and I knew she understood why. I was in stress and agony and my heart
cried for my grandchild, my first grandchild that I already loved so much. Her husband didn't
want the child as he thought of it as a complication as he was going to leave Katie. My thought
was who needed him anyway.
Katie was in the car with me and I drove down Chardon Road and pulled into the Lady of Lourdes
Shrine and told her I needed to say the Rosary. We walked to the outdoor shrine and people
that had gather were leaving as we missed the saying of the Rosary. I thought " Oh gee, we missed it"
Katie and I sat there as the crowd thinned and left. Across the way a lady walked towards us.
She said to us. We have a group coming together to say the Rosary would you like to join us. We immediately
said yes and went with her to the small group. After the Rosary this elderly lady said here is a medal
from the Visionary in Seven Hills. She told us how Mary appears to the Visionary. I asked the lady
would you like a ride home and she got into the car with me and Katie. As I was driving Katies was
very restless in the backseat. Once the lady got out of the car at her home, Katie started bouncing
around, saying I don't believe this, over and over. She showed me the medal and it had a old looking
skelton key on it. Katie told me the day before she had found this exact key under her seat while she
was cleaning her car. Well we didn't need a frying pan to hit us over the head, we knew we had to go
to this Visionary in Seven Hills.

Chapter 4 continued.
My ex mother in law loved stories like this and I told her
that we wanted to go find this Visionary House in Seven Hills.
She got my ex father in law to drive us out one rainy night
to Holy Love Church that was a house that they were given to
use by a builder. The downstairs of the house , living room and dining
room were transformed into a little chapel with folding chairs.
The kitchen became the room for brochures and rosaries that could
be sold. We took seats behind the front row as that was reserved for
the Visionary. A young woman stood up to speak and told about the
Holy Love Chapel and how it came to be. The visionary was not catholic
and had four children but began having visions of Mary. She had them
for quite a few years and all came to be and if you were here this night
you were spiritually "invited" that the Holy Love Chapel
were prays for the "unborn". Well we could have fell off our chairs,
prayers for the unborn, Katie was struck hard and that was the day
she knew why she was invited there and she found her strength to keep
this baby.
