bishop – ThursdayAgain

Dear Agony Aunts

My fiancé Michael has just been promoted to Cardinal & will be leaving next week to take up his duties in Rome. He says he will send for me as soon as he is settled & has found us somewhere to live, & that we can be married at last, but that in the meantime I shouldn’t call or write to him. Honestly, it’s just like Dublin all over again (when he became a Bishop)!

I know that Michael loves me & that God has said we are going to be together, but I can’t help but feel a little insecure, what with the twins about to start school & our next little bundle of joy due at any time.

How can I encourage Michael to fetch us over to join him quickly without sounding like a nag or making him even more stressed?

Dear “Mary”

Do not plan on moving to the Eternal City anytime soon.

We don’t think you should worry Michael with the details of your relocation & we suggest a letter direct to the Holy Father should help to move things along. Truthfully we don’t think that Michael’s recent promotion is going to make your life together (or your marriage prospects) any easier but a word to the “Boss” should ensure that at least you & the kids are well provided for financially.

If you have any compromising or “saucy” photos of Michael you should include those with your letter to the Pope; he’s known to have a good sense of humor & it should give him something to chat about with Michael when they are sorting-out arrangements for you & the family.

Good luck with the confinement.
