Born to a mother who didn't want me, I was handled by nuns, relatives I never knew about at the time, and strangers in far off California, when I was sent back to New Orleans. I was no more than three or four years old by that time. I rather thought this was all perfectly normal, and the way all children grew up. I was baptized at age four and finally placed into a Catholic orphanage for boys when I was either late at age four, or early in age five. I would remain there, never really knowing what a family was; but the name that most escaped my understanding was that of Mother. The name, or title, was strange to me, for it seemed I never had one. It was in that orphanage that I first heard of a Blessed Mother. I saw her beautiful statue, and heard stories of her, and most puzzling of all, that she was everyone's Mother. This continued after I was taken to a trial home with a family, the Shannon's, where I stayed till I was legally adopted by them at age nine. I became a Shannon. The nuns at my grammar school continued to instill in my young heart the idea that I was always the child of a Mother I never knew, none other than Mary, the Mother of Our Savior, Jesus Christ!
