#bless joseph haddad

[fdelopera]

Here's a transcript in English. Bless Yoseph Haddad. He has the patience of a saint to try to get through to these ignorant, brain-rotted Hamasnik morons who have been twisted by white saviorism and Jew-hate.

.

Yoseph Haddad: … Can I like, get a little bit of knowledge about it? Can I get a bit more things about it?

Ignorant Hamasnik: I'm not the best to ask, because I'm not super knowledgable. Yeah…

Yoseph Haddad: Aren't you…? Sorry, I'm really confused, because this is really important. This apartheid is not okay.

Ignorant Hamasnik: Yeah…

Yoseph Haddad: And I tried to go online and search about it, and I saw a lot of talks. Like, oh there isn't apartheid, there is apartheid. And I said, I'm gonna come here and just gonna hear it from you guys.

Ignorant Hamasnik: Yeah…

Yoseph Haddad: But can I be honest? I'm really disappointed, because I thought you represent the Palestinian club, and you would know about it.

Ignorant Hamasnik: Yeah, no, I mean…

Yoseph Haddad: So, wait, is there apartheid in there?

Ignorant Hamasnik: If you're asking for a personal opinion, yes.

Yoseph Haddad: What do you mean "personal opinion"?

Ignorant Hamasnik: As in, that's just my opinion, yeah.

Yoseph Haddad: I'm a bit confused, sorry. Because like, the personal opinion does not matter. The fact does matter, like if there is an apartheid or no.

Ignorant Hamasnik: Yeah, I mean…

Yoseph Haddad: What's the apartheid? It's like, what do you do in that?

Ignorant Hamasnik: Like, the definition of … apartheid…?

Yoseph Haddad: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Ignorant Hamasnik: (laughs) I mean, again, like, I don't have the definition with me. Um, I think from what I believe, I mean, you've got checkpoints? So uh…

Yoseph Haddad: Well, you have checkpoints also like in between countries, no? If someone from Argentina wants to go to Brazil, doesn't he go to a checkpoint? So, this is not exactly the definition of apartheid. Look, Amnesty said that they [Israeli Arabs] are part of the Apartheid as well, that they live under apartheid as well. They do? They do live under apartheid, the Arabs who live in Israel, as well?

Ignorant Hamasnik: To that extent, I wouldn't know. I've never been to Israel.

Yoseph Haddad: Oh okay. And the Palestinians?

Ignorant Hamasnik: I've never been to that side either, no.

Yoseph Haddad: So, they live under apartheid, or they don't live under apartheid?

Ignorant Hamasnik: Yes…

Yoseph Haddad: How is it like, implemented? How is it on the ground? The facts on the ground?

Ignorant Hamasnik: I mean … so like I said, so, checkpoints can be in an area. You've got things like uh, separate, like what is it, license plates?

Yoseph Haddad: The license of the car?

Ignorant Hamasnik: Yeah, it's like a different colour.

Yoseph Haddad: Why it should be the same? If like, a person from New Zealand has a license plate of New Zealand, and a person from Australia has a license plate from Australia. So, New Zealand is an apartheid to Australia? Or Australia is an apartheid to New Zealand?

Ignorant Hamasnik: I mean, that's different, because we're two separate…

Yoseph Haddad: Can I be straight honest with you? I'm not really "an Arab who lives in Israel."

Ignorant Hamasnik: Yeah…

Yoseph Haddad: And I don't know what people are telling you or not telling you. I don't know if any of those people who are in that club even speak Arabic like me as an Arab. There are problems. I will never say that there isn't a problem.

Ignorant Hamasnik: Yeah…

Yoseph Haddad: But I have to be honest with you, this is a branwash. It's a brainwash. I can vote. I can get elected. I can become the president of Israel, if I want right now to nominate myself. Whether I win or not, that's no difference. I don't have a different bus system. I don't have different judges. In fact, an Arab judge, an Arab judge in Israel, a Supreme Court judge, sent the Jewish Prime Minister and the Jewish President [to prison]. I don't want you to believe me. I want you to check the name. Salim Joubran. In an apartheid, that cannot happen. I have freedom of movement. I came to New Zealand with my Israeli passport, as an Arab. No one can stop me. And by the way, it doesn't mean that racism doesn't exist or discrimination. But you want to tell me that also in New Zealand racism and discrimination does not exist?? Unfortunately, it exists everywhere. And what about Hamas?

Ignorant Hamasnik: Yeah, no, I mean, it's rough…

Yoseph Haddad: It's rough?? Look, Hamas controls Gaza. Israel does not control Gaza.

Ignorant Hamasnik: Yeah, I'm aware.

Yoseph Haddad: So, Israel does not have even one inch. Hamas has a border with Egypt. And Egypt closed that border as well. So, why an Arab state closed the border with Arab Gaza?

Ignorant Hamasnik: …

Yoseph Haddad: Because of terrorism. Helping us is not lying nor about deaths or promoting the brainwash of this. I don't live under an apartheid regime. The Palestinians have problems, which we need to resolve. But the obstacle is not actually Israel. The obstacle right now is the terrorist organization from Gaza and the corrupted Palestinian Authority. I hope, I hope I managed to bear something, and also, maybe I did not change your mind, but maybe I made you ask more tough questions to the poeple who made you join this club.

Arab-Israeli questioning why Israel is accused of being apartheid when his personal experiences show him otherwise.

Catholic Dogma - Part 19

Supplement - 2 - Lumen Verum Apologetics

The Four Dogmas of the Blessed Virgin Mary - Part 1 of 2

A Defence

by Robert M. Haddad

The four principal dogmas relating to the Blessed Virgin Mary are:

I. Her title as Mother of God

II. Her Perpetual Virginity

III. Her Immaculate Conception

IV. Her Assumption into Heaven

V. Bibliography    

I. Mother of God

It is often the case that one would hear the title of "Mother of God" as applied to the Blessed Virgin Mary disparaged as "Mariolatry" or blasphemy. Such an attack is normally coupled with the opinion that Catholics give too much honour to the Virgin Mary, and that She is not so important because little is said of Her in Sacred Scripture. What justification, therefore, can there be for such a title?

In the first book of the Old Testament we read the following: "I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel" (Gen. 3, 15). This verse, called the "protoevangelion," is the first promise of the redeeming Messiah. The woman in this verse is the Virgin Mary, Her offspring is, of course, Our Lord Jesus Christ. Despite the fact that there is distinct controversy among Biblical scholars as to whether the text should read "she", "he" or "it shall bruise"(or crush), the meaning is the same, as it is through Her Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, that the Virgin Mary crushes Satan.1

Genesis 3, 15, together with the following passages, form the basis for venerating the Virgin Mary as Mother of God:

"Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, His name shall be called Emmanuel (i.e., God with us)" (Is. 7, 14 [Douai]);

"For a child has been born for us, a son given to us; authority rests upon his shoulders; and he is named Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace" (Is. 9, 6);

"And the angel being come in, said unto her: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women" (St. Luke 1, 28 [Douai]);

"(St. Elizabeth to Our Lady) And why has this happened to me, that the mother of my Lord comes to me?" (St. Luke 1, 43);

"...for he has regarded the low estate of his handmaiden. For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed" (St. Luke 1, 48);

"...Woman, behold your son...(Son) behold your mother" (St. John 19, 26-27);

"Then God's temple in heaven was opened, and the ark of his covenant was seen within his temple; and there were flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, an earthquake, and heavy hail" (Rev. 11, 19). The Ark of the Covenant was a symbolic type of the Virgin Mary. The original Ark was overladen with gold and contained within itself a pot of manna, Aaron's priestly rod, and the two tables of the Ten Commandments (Heb. 9, 4). It was overshadowed by a propitiatory, or mercy seat, upon which God Himself dwelt (the Shekinah) between two statues of Cherubim (Exod. 25). It was forbidden for anyone to touch the Ark on pain of death. The Virgin Mary, in comparison, was a greater Ark, being a human creature immaculately conceived who carried within Her womb not simply the symbols of Christ, but Christ Himself. God, likewise, overshadowed Her, when the Holy Spirit conceived Christ within Her. Being a perpetual virgin, no one could, or did, "touch" Her. Joshua prostrated himself and venerated the Ark for hours (Josh. 7, 6). As "Joshua" means "Jesus" we have a type of Jesus venerating a type of Mary. Applying this to the New Testament figures themselves, it symbolically represents Jesus Christ paying veneration to His Mother.2

"A great portent appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars" (Rev. 12, 1);

"And she gave birth to a son, a male child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron. But her child was snatched away and taken to God and to his throne" (Rev. 12, 5);

"Then the dragon was angry with the woman, and went off to make war on the rest of her children, those who keep the commandments of God and hold the testimony of Jesus" (Rev. 12, 17).

The Church distinguishes clearly between dulia, or "the homage of veneration," and latria, which signifies "the worship of adoration." Veneration is paid to the Saints; a higher form of it, called hyperdulia, is given to the Virgin Mary; but adoration is given only to God. Any attempt to give adoration to a creature would certainly be idolatrous - but the Catholic Church has never given it. She adores God and God alone.

Most Protestants abhor the title of "Mother of God" because to them it insinuates that Catholics believe that the Virgin Mary existed before God, and that God only came into existence after being born from Her. Such, of course, is an absurdity. In fact, the term "Mother of God" was defined by the Council of Ephesus (431 AD) in response to the Christological controversy ignited by Nestorius, then Patriarch of Constantinople. Nestorius asserted that in Christ there existed not one divine Person with two natures, human and divine, but two Persons, one human and one divine, with two natures, human and divine. Further, these two persons were not hypostatically united, but separate, the human being insignificant compared to the divine. Consequently, the Virgin Mary, as She supplied only Christ’s human flesh and not His divinity, was only mother of Christ’s humanity and therefore in no sense could be called Mother of God. The Church, upholding that Christ was one divine Person only, and noting that Mary was the mother of this divine Person (St. John 19, 25), defined dogmatically that She could properly be called "Mother of God":

"If anyone does not confess that the Emmanuel is in truth God, and that the Holy Virgin is Mother of God, because she bore according to the flesh of the Word of God when He became flesh: let him be anathema."3

St. Cyril of Alexandria would continue defending of the title "Mother of God" in the years after Ephesus:

"The Word, then, was God, and He became also Man; and since He was born according to the flesh for the sake of mankind, it is necessary that she who bore Him is the Mother of God. For if she did not bear God, neither is He that was born of her to be called God. If the divinely inspired Scriptures name Him God, as God having been made man and incarnate, He could not become Man in any other way than through birth from a woman: how then should she who bore Him not be the Mother of God?"4

For the past fifteen centuries the Church has steadfastly continued to bestow the title "Mother of God" upon the Virgin Mary:

"Glory to God in the highest; and on earth peace to men of good will. Then began the fulfillment of the splendid promise made by God to Abraham, that in his seed all the nations of the earth should one day be blessed; for Mary, whom we truly proclaim and venerate as Mother of God, because she brought forth Him who is at once God and man, was descended from King David."5

"The Virgin Mary…is acknowledged and honoured as being truly the Mother of God and Mother of the Redeemer."6

"Glorious Theotokos…"7

"Called in the ‘the mother of Jesus,’ Mary is acclaimed by Elizabeth, at the prompting of the Spirit and even before the birth of her Son, as ‘the mother of my Lord.’ In fact, the One whom she conceived as man by the Holy Spirit, who truly became her Son according to the flesh, was none other than the Father’s eternal Son, the Second Person of the Holy Trinity. Hence the Church confesses that Mary is truly ‘Mother of God’ (Theotokos)."8

II. Perpetual Virginity

In the Bible we read the following passage:

"Where did this man get this wisdom and these deeds of power? Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary? And are not his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? And are not all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all this? And they took offence at him" (St. Matt. 13, 54-57).

According to Fundamentalists, it appears clear from this passage that Jesus Christ had brothers and sisters, and that the Virgin Mary did not remain a virgin all Her life. Yet, the Catholic Church asserts that the Virgin Mary was a virgin before, during, and perpetually after the birth of Christ (Ante partum, in partu, post partum), a belief re-asserted during the first decades of the Protestant reformation:

" This immaculate and perpetual virginity forms, therefore, the just theme of our eulogy. Such was the work of the Holy Ghost, who at the Conception and birth of the Son so favoured the Virgin Mother as to impart to her fecundity while preserving inviolate her perpetual virginity."9

The Catholic answer to this apparent contradiction is long and detailed, but decisive. There existed no special word in Hebrew or Aramaic for "cousin." The word "brother" is used in these languages generically, and does not necessarily imply children of the same parent. There are many examples in the Old Testament when the word brother was applied to any kind of relations: nephew (Gen. 12, 5), uncle (Gen. 29, 15); husband (Songs. 4, 9); a member of the same tribe (2 Kgs. 9, 13); of the same people (Exod. 2, 21); an ally (Amos 1, 9); a friend (2 Kgs. 1, 26); one of the same office (1 Sam. 9, 13).10

A number of distinguished Catholic commentators, including St. Thomas Aquinas11, actually hold that the Virgin Mary had made a formal vow of perpetual virginity together with St. Joseph. A vow of virginity would help explain why the Virgin Mary was so perplexed after the Angel Gabriel announced to Her that She was about to bear the Messiah. According to contemporary Jewish custom, marriage was in two stages. The first stage, or betrothal, was when the marriage was effectively made. The Virgin Mary and St. Joseph had concluded this stage. Sexual relationships after this point were not considered as fornication. However, we know that nothing of this kind had yet taken place between the Virgin Mary and St. Joseph ("How can this be, since I am a virgin?" [St. Luke 1, 34]). The second stage of marriage was the social formality of the public celebration. The Virgin Mary and St. Joseph in all probability had to forego this second stage due to their flight to Egypt, nevertheless, this fact did not impugn the validity of their marriage.12

A further Protestant objection is founded on St. Matthew 1, 25 which states that St. Joseph "had no marital relations with her until she had borne a son; and he named him Jesus." It is argued that this passage implies that the Virgin Mary had other children by St. Joseph after giving birth to Jesus. It would be well here to reproduce the footnote commentary on St. Matthew 1, 25 from the Douai-Rheims version of the New Testament:

"St. Jerome shows, by divers examples, that this expression of the Evangelist was a manner of speaking usual among the Hebrews, to denote by the word until, only what is done, without any regard to the future. Thus it is said, Genesis 8, 6 and 7, that Noe sent forth a raven, which went forth, and did not return till the waters were dried up on the earth. That is, did not return anymore. Also Isaias 46, 4, God says: I am till you grow old. Who dare infer that God should then cease to be?...God saith to his divine Son: Sit on my right till I make thy enemies thy footstool. Shall he sit no longer after his enemies are subdued?"

Further, according to the Jewish Law a child was designated as "first-born" irrespective of whether there were yet, or ever to be, subsequent children born to the same mother. This is gathered from Exodus 13, 2, which required that "every first-born that openeth the womb among the children of Israel" be consecrated to God forty days after their birth.

Who, then, exactly were the brothers and sisters of Jesus Christ?

It is best to start by looking at St. John 19, 25. There it is evident that the Virgin Mary had an older sister whose name was also Mary: "Meanwhile, standing near the cross of Jesus were his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene."

Turning next to the Gospel of St. Mark 15, 40, speaking on the same point: "There were also women looking on from a distance; among them were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the younger (Less) and of Joses (Joseph), and Salome." Who is this "Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses?" Of the Marys mentioned in St. John 19, 25 it must be Mary the wife of Clopas, not Mary the "mother of Jesus," as the Virgin Mary is never mentioned by any other title except as "mother of Jesus." Further, we know that the father of James the younger was Clopas, the husband of Mary of Clopas (St. Mark 3, 18), making Mary of Clopas James’ mother. As for Jude, he was also a son of Clopas and the Virgin Mary’s sister as Scripture speaks of him as a brother of James the younger: "James son of Alphaeus (Clopas), and Simon the Zealot, and Judas the brother of James" (Acts 1, 13 [Douai]). Consequently, Our Lord had cousins by the names of James, Joseph and Jude.13

One can safely state then that the "brothers" of Our Lord as mentioned in St. Matt. 13, 54 -57 being James, Joseph, Jude etc. are in fact the same James, Joseph and Jude just determined to be His cousins. This was St. Jerome's assertion in the early fourth century:

"Suppose that the Brethren of the Lord were Joseph’s sons by another wife. But we understand the Brethren of the Lord to be not the sons of Joseph, but cousins of the Saviour, the sons of Mary, his mother’s sister."14

St. Augustine was no less strident in his defence of the Virgin Mary's perpetual virginity:

"It is written (Ezekiel 44, 2): ‘This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, and no man shall pass through it. Because the Lord the God of Israel hath entered in by it...’ What means this closed gate in the house of the Lord, except that Mary is to be ever inviolate? What does it mean that ‘no man shall pass through it,’ save that Joseph shall not know her? And what is this -‘The Lord alone enters in and goeth out by it,’ except that the Holy Ghost shall impregnate her, and that the Lord of Angels shall be born of her? And what means this - ‘It shall be shut for evermore,’ but that Mary is a Virgin before His birth, a Virgin in His birth, and a Virgin after His birth."15

It would be forcing credibility to believe that the Virgin Mary and Her older "sister" both had the same names and also had children with the same names. One can expect, also, that after St. Joseph died the Virgin Mary would have gone with Our Lord to live with or nearby Her older "sister," explaining why She was travelling with those mentioned in St. Matt. 12, 46. It is a clear example of the word "brother" being used to refer to a first or second cousin.

It is also important to examine closely three major events in Our Lord’s life referred to in the Gospels: (i) the return of the Holy Family from Egypt to Nazareth after the death of Herod; (ii) the finding of the Child Jesus in the Temple of Jerusalem after being lost for three days; (iii) Our Lord giving His Mother to the care of St. John at His crucifixion. Our Lord, according to tradition, was 10, 12 and 33 years of age respectively when these events occurred. Yet, never is there any mention of brothers or sisters of His being present, which one would naturally expect if they had actually existed.16

Margaret grew up in Portland, Oregon, the eldest child of her father George Assad Kaady and Sahda Kaidey Kaady. She graduated from Franklin High School in Portland, in 1947, received a bachelor’s degree in education from the Oregon College of Education in 1951, and a master of arts in counseling from Walla Walla College in 1971. She married Gabe Joseph, of Walla Walla on December 26, 1953. After moving to Walla Walla, she put her teaching career on hold to help her husband in the family business (9th St. Grocery & Market). Margaret taught school at nearly every grade level during her 39 years as an educator, retiring in 1990 from the Walla Walla School District as a beloved 4th grade teacher at Berney Elementary School. She was an extraordinary teacher who encouraged thousands of young learners to dream big and believe that anything is possible with an education. Wherever Margaret went, in Walla Walla or elsewhere around the globe, she encountered former students who greeted her with a hug and gratitude as a favorite teacher. Margaret was an incredibly intelligent woman, spoke three languages and believed that family, faith and compassion were priceless. She lived her life with zest, optimism, faith in God and passion. She believed that life is a gift and that living with intention was a responsibility. She was an entrepreneur, co-producing Gabe’s Gourmet Dressing and Mamma’s Mediterranean Spices for many decades. Margaret was revered as a mother, wife, friend and spiritual sister in faith to many. She was a participant and leader in the local Cursillo, Walk to Emmaus, and The Walk With Christ Movements. She was a natural and engaging storyteller, generous volunteer for many local organizations including: St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, Walla Walla Senior Center, Washington State School Retirees Assoc., Hospice, Planned Parenthood, PEO Chapter GO, Phi Delta Kappa, Young Life Board and the Walla Walla Symphony Guild. Her hobbies included writing, fishing (near the family cabin at Mill Creek and salmon fishing), entertaining and cooking. Margaret applied to be the first teacher astronaut in space; advancing through two selection rounds. She and Gabe traveled the world over a few times, visiting many exotic destinations (some more than once) and loved to cruise as a way to explore the world. Cannon Beach, Oregon has always held a special place in her heart, spending many vacations there during the past 50 years (including celebrating her 85th birthday there in 2016). She taught Sunday School, was a lay-reader, vestry member and devoted member at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Walla Walla for more than 63 years. Margaret was preceded in death by her father, George Kaady; mother, Sahda Kaady; brothers, George Kaady, Abe Kaady; sisters, Rose Kaady and Mary Kaady; aunts, Gandam Kaady Khoury and Spida Kaady Zidan; uncles, Ameen Kaady and Joseph Kaady. She is survived by her husband of 63 years, Gabe Joseph; daughters, AnnRené Joseph (Lee Bell) of Woodinville, Washington, Margot Joseph Haddad (Edward) of Seven Hills, Ohio, and Susan Joseph Nielsen (Scott) of Spokane, Washington; son, Gabriel Joseph III (Karen) of Centerville, Virginia; brothers, Victor Kaady (Marlee) of Milwaukie, Oregon, Jack Kaady of Vancouver, Washington; and sister, Katherine Kaady Saba (Tom) of Norcross, Georgia; eight grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren, 12 nieces and nephews and 14 great nieces and nephews. Margaret lived an amazing life. We know that she is with Jesus now, dancing, singing, fishing and waiting for Dad and the rest of us to join her in heaven. A celebration of Margaret’s life will be held June 10, 2017, at 1 p.m., at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church (323 Catherine Street, Walla Walla), with a brief private columbarium service, followed by a mercy dinner for all those attending the service held in the adjoining church parish hall. The Joseph/Kaady families would like to thank Dr. James Cunningham and the staff at Providence St. Mary Regional Cancer Center for the excellent and progressive oncology care provided, which helped keep Margaret with us for 21 months. The compassionate care provided by Walla Walla Community Hospice and Matty’s Home Care kept Margaret comfortable in her home and with her family.

April 26 at 10:18am · My amazing, brilliant, beautiful, forgiving, generous and godly mother passed into Jesus’ arms last night. Her 21-month battle with lung cancer eventually won her body, but not her spirit or her soul. We have had 85 years of amazingness, loving care and tenderness from Margaret (Ann Kaady) Joseph. She was a believer and we know that she is dancing, singing and greeting all of her family and her friends who have been awaiting her. She has been talking to and seeing these angels for many weeks as I sat quietly with her. I asked her who she was seeing and talking to and she said, more than once, “you would not believe me if I told you.” I was with my Dad and family at her bedside at home when she passed last night. She was the best mother, sister, wife, auntie, friend and woman I know. She has blessed so many people over her lifetime through her faith, her talent as a teacher (public, private and Sunday school), entrepreneur, writer, storyteller, entertainer, hostess, accomplished cook (particularly Mediterranean food, pickles, jam and a thousand other things), gardener, voracious volunteer, donor/funder to many causes she was passionate about, and a world traveler. She and Dad have traveled around the globe a few times (visiting some favorite places more than once). She was gracious, giving and laughed and loved without restraint. Dad has been her partner, warrior, companion and loving husband for 63 years. He is comforted with our presence here. We are heartbroken, but comforted in knowing that we will see her again and that she will be our guardian angel for the rest of our lives. I nicknamed Mom the “Rebound Queen” and “Miracle Margaret.” She even has a crown that remained by her bedside and was a topic of conversation for any visitor. Her superpower was Faith Goddess. She has always had a hotline to God. If you asked Mom to pray for someone or something, you could bet money that things would improve, you would get the job, your test would come back normal, your travels would be safe and your prayers would be answered. I cannot think of a more powerful superpower than Faith Goddess. My Dad (Gabe), brother (Gabe III) and my sisters (Ann and Margot) all slept in the house last night on beds, couches and recliner chairs. It was quiet and peaceful. It is good to be together, except now we are the Joseph Five instead of the Joseph Six. Many of our friends have met my parents. They are adorable and instantly lovable. They have always been a team. My Dad is a strong man. We are right now and will continue to surround him with love and care in the days, weeks, months and years ahead. He is healthy and we are already reserving and requesting time with him here in Walla Walla and at our various homes around the country. He is loved. He will be cherished. We will have Mom with us for each and every occasion and visit. If you know me well, you know that I adore my mother. I had this song created for my mother back in January and presented it to her on Valentine’s Day 2017. It does not fully describe my adored mother, but she loved it when she heard it. I hope you enjoy it too. https://www.songfinch.com/st…/my-mother-inspiration-and-hope. Mom’s memorial service will be Saturday, June 10 in Walla Walla at St. Paul's Episcopal Church (her birthday is June 11). We are still determining the exact time, but it will be in the afternoon. For those who have walked this journey with me, thank you for your prayers and your friendship. You cannot know how much your kindness, support, grace and actions have meant to me, Scott, Peter, Grant and my entire family. You are a blessing to us all. Hug the ones you love and tell them that you love them! #NoDaysWasted Image may contain: 1 person, indoor Susan Joseph Nielsen with Margot Joseph and 2 others. April 26 at 8:34pm · We have set up a CaringBridge site with information about Mom's memorial service and for people to share memories and photos of Mom. Please feel free to pass this along to others who may not be on Facebook. Thank you for all of your many messages, phone calls, texts and emails. Our family is tight and we are enfolding each other and Dad with love and caring. The memorial service will be held on Saturday, June 10, 2017 at 1 p.m. at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Walla Walla (323 Catherine Street). Memorial contributions can be made to St. Paul's Episcopal Church In Memory of Margaret Joseph, Walla Walla Community Hospice or Providence St. Mary Regional Cancer Center.

Image may contain: 1 person, smiling Susan Joseph Nielsen with Margot Joseph and 2 others. April 30 at 9:12am · My mother was a truly remarkable woman throughout her 85 year life. We can never come close to capturing someone's life in a short summary, like an obituary. I am committed to sharing "Margaret-isms," "Mom-isms" and "Siti-isms" when I have those "missing my mom" moments. Among other things, Mom was the first in her family to attend college and that began a cascade of college degrees for her siblings, husband, children, nieces, nephews and grandchildren. I recently counted the number of college degrees achieved, starting with Mom, and there were 44 (some are advanced degrees).WOW! Way to start a family trend Mama! Mom always asked about YOU first when anyone came to visit or she encountered someone out and about. She was far more interested in your life than any struggles of her own. She wanted to know "what we (she and Dad) could do to support you right now." Whether that was through her hotline to God prayer/Faith Goddess status, financially, emotionally or through more tangible things like food, clothing or small appliances. Whenever I left Mom (for the past several years), I would kiss her three times as she always did for us when we were little; once on each cheek and once on the forehead (a kiss triangle) and I would bid farewell by saying "I love you gobs and tons and I'll see you soon!" Sending gobs and tons of love + air kisses to you in the heavens above today Mom. #NoDaysWasted Susan Joseph Nielsen May 1 at 7:50am · Happy May Day Mom! Every May 1 my best friend and I ( Lisa Sasser Harvey) would make paper flower hangers with ribbon, fill them with flowers (mostly lilacs from the trees in the sand lot behind my parent's house), hang them on doors in our neighborhood, ring the doorbell, run and hide. It was so fun to see the Moms come to the door and find the fresh flowers in the paper vases--they were always surprised and delighted. Most Moms back in the late 60s and early 70s (at least in Walla Walla) were at home after school. Lisa and I giggled and giggled and giggled with each ring and run. We looked forward to it every year until we were too old for such little girl things. I am picking a bouquet of yard flowers for my mom today. They will be in a beautiful crystal vase. Miss you mom. #NoDaysWasted Image may contain: flower, plant, outdoor and nature My Brother Gabe’s FB Post https://scontent.fsnc1-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-1/p50x50/12345508_1733790920188122_1947007555869454330_n.jpg?oh=c12e84e7e14e8d66a6bf42f53fb6268a&oe=5989AB39 Gabriel Joseph with Margot Joseph and 7 others. April 26 at 4:24pm · On April 25, 2017 at about 7:00 p.m. PDT My Mom, Margaret Ann Kaady Joseph was admitted to the most exclusive Residence in History. She has a Club Level Room with a view at what can only be called the “Heavenly.” She is not in pain anymore and is not concerned, worried or anxious about anything. She is truly at peace and I am sure she likes her new home. My Mom is with many of her friends and most if not all of her family. My Mom is not missing me. I however, am missing her a lot! My Mom provided me with many good quotes, comments, responses and experiences that I will remember for the rest of my life. Below are a few of her greatest hits to share with you The Favorite Life Quote from My Mom: Question - Hey Mom…Did you ever love one of us (the children) more than the others? Mom’s Answer - Why Yes, I did. When one of you was sick, I loved you more until you were well. When one of you was sad, I loved you more until you were happy. When one of you was hurt, I loved you more than the others until you were happy. When one of you was mad, I loved you more until you were at peace. The Favorite Joke I Told My Mom: Me. Mom…How many feminists does it take to change a lightbulb. Mom – One...and that’s not funny! Me - Have you heard that joke before? Mom – No. Why? Me – You just stole the punch line before I could say it. Mom – Too bad. That joke is still not funny! Me – Now it doesn’t need to be because you just made the story much better. The Favorite Phrase My Mom Said to Me (us) That Was Uniquely Her: Me. Morning Mom Mom – Good morning Mommy! The Best Life Lesson My Mom Gave to Me: Mom – It is important that you believe that Jesus Christ is Your Savior and Lord. Me – Mom, why do you keep talking to me about Jesus? Mom – Because I love spending time with you. Me – Mom. I am right here. We will have a lot more time to spend together (true until yesterday)! Mom – I know we will honey but please understand that spending eternity without you will Suck! The Most Important Conversation I Remember Having with My Mom: Mom – Honey, I want you to know that there are so many things regarding you kids that I wish I could change and that I know I could have done a better. Please forgive me! Me – Mom…Whatever you can think of it is not only forgiven but forgotten. I would not want you to change even one thing that happened because I would not have become the man that I am. I love you. Mom – Really! Me – Really, Really! Mom – (sniff). Thank you. The Most Important Thing I Told My Mom: Me - I love you Mom. See you Soon! (said as often as I can remember including about one-week ago) A Seminal Moment in our Relationship (1979): Me – Mom. I am voting for Ronald Reagan for President and will work hard to make that happen. Mom (looking at my dad) – He’s Your son! The Nicknames My Mom had for me: Gabbie Gubbie Fus MySon! Best Blessing Phrase My Mom Said Over Me. In Arabic – Tit-a-Brunei. English Translation – “May You Bury Me.” God allowed My Mom to live out the"Tit-A-Brunei." The picture with this post is from my 50th Birthday Party in 2010 at my Club, CXIII Rex. My Mom was 80 then. My Mom loved a party. We had a great party that night. Often, My Mom “was” the party! Obviously, she was enjoying herself that night. I also believe that she loved me more than my siblings on that day, at that moment. When you look at that picture , I ask you to imagine all of the things I have mentioned about my Mom and envision her saying them in a firm, alto voice with a nurturing knowing smile, and with a voice that always (regardless of the volume) had a “tonation” of love that only Mommy’s have when they talk to their children. Do me a favor… If your Mom is alive today, call or see her as soon as you can and let "Your Mom" know that you love her. Add a hug for good measure. One day (like me today) you will not be able to do that. I love you Mom. I miss you. BTW - I will see you soon! Image may contain: 2 people, people standing She was indeed remarkable!
