Lent Me

Angel ornaments during Christmas are the closest my parents will come to Christianity. Renunciation is not their thing, so Jesus gets no love during Lent. My parents tend to make their own holidays.

My mom told me the other night that she wont drink any wine while I'm at Boot Camp. At first I did not understand why she decided this or why she told me, but now I understand that she wants to be more connected to my suffering, bless her heart.

The only necklace allowed by regulations must be religious and my mom wanted to get me a gift, so she ordered a "jesus fish" pendant to give me when they visit me at graduation. I'm not the biggest Jesus groupie but this particular ichthys is the nose-pointing-upward kind, also called a vesica pisces... representative of the/a vagina. *cackle*
