27. Not this parent

My wife and I were both raised in the Catholic church we didn't have a choice...so we agreed to allow our children to decide what if any religion they wanted to be a part of!

All three made their choices...my wife passed away and never saw it...me I left the Catholic church because of some of its policies that I disagreed with.
