Welcome to Chaplain Didymus McHugh
Life Is Like Coffee
We start off with a cup of black coffee
Each experience is like the cream we add
It becomes part of us
It changes us
And we will never be the same as when we started
P.S. No matter what we try to do, we can never remove that experience from our life.

Articles –
When was the last time that we thought about grieving? People grieve many changes in their lives. We grieve losing a job, a divorce, death moving or any change. But do we really understand what it is to grieve?
They say that there are five to nine stages of grief. The five that are common are: Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and Acceptance. Some people think that you go from step one through step five in an order, but grief is not that neat and clean, that predictable. A person can spend a long or short time in any of these phases. They can revisit any phases many times....

What Does Sacrifice Look Like?
There are many ways of sacrifice and for different reasons. When we join the fire service, we do not know all the sacrifice that we will be making. We sacrifice our time going to classes, time away from our loved ones, when we are on duty or get called in for extra duty of filling in for someone that banged out sick. We sacrifice money to help those in need, our talents helping rebuild communities that have been affected by fire or disasters that we have responded to...

Unspoken Words Sometimes Silence is not Golden
There are many times that we do not keep quiet, when we should but there are times that are worse. It is the time that we should open our mouths but do not. It may be because we are ashamed, or do not know who to talk with, or think that we should be able to handle the situation. Well, there are times to be vocal and this is this time. Start the discussion. We would do a disservice if we never continue the conversation....
Mission statements – Didymus believes in helping others when they need help but also empowering others to make their own decisions. He believes in being able to show people the love of God through his caring actions.

The Son
You were my little man. Sometimes my shadow. Sometimes my mini me.
We held hands and kisses goodbye. Saying goodbyes always hurt inside
The sun turned around and you grew.. You borrowed clothes from me.
We no longer held hands and no longer kissed goodbye. The time apart hurt less.
The sun turned around and you grew. You were no longer in my life.
The judge and you mother saw to it. You were an ache in my heart because I still loved you.
The sun turned around and you grew. You are your own man or so you think.
You now resent me and talk about me through all that your mother wanted you to believe.
The sun keeps turning. The years keep going.
You will believe what you want and never find out the truth.
You will never know how much I loved you.
The sun keeps turning. Where did it all go?
I will not be allowed near your wedding or even meet your wife.
We will never kiss goodbye even at the end of my life.
The sun keeps turning. He looks for his father.
Everyone has kept him out and now it is too late.
Goodbye.
