This is Mike’s story, a memoir about the death of his father and his experience of it as an oldest son and Catholic priest.

Mike’s story is an intimate glimpse into an event that most of us will experience at some point in our lives. His resonating account of his father’s passing provides unique insight into the complexities that accompany a parent’s death, such as divorce, remarriage, and family differences.

More importantly, this memoir is about how Mike graciously navigated this period by talking things out, thinking things through, and prayerfully discerning direction while respecting his sacred duty to properly honor his father through a funeral, burial, and dignified remembrance.

He hopes that this memoir will give readers a deep appreciation for the sacred duty of burying the dead, provide new insights into the tender care that it takes to discern what is right for everyone involved, especially the deceased, and provide a deeper understanding of the importance of prayerfully sorting through to what is really important.

About the Author

Michael Leo Papesh was born into a Slovenian community, just south of Chicago in Joliet, Illinois. Raised to believe that family was the bedrock of everything, his parents’ divorce when he was twenty-three shook the foundations of his life, and recovery from this event has been a lifelong process.

Papesh spent thirty-five years as a Catholic priest in Minnesota and Colorado in university, parish, and chancery settings. He has previously published books on clerical culture and how to administer a parish.

His deep commitment to family has led him to genealogical work in the U.S. and in foreign countries and to gathering and writing his family’s shaping stories.

Now retired, he lives at the edge of the Great Plains, at the foot of the Rocky Mountains, where he walks, reads, and continues his genealogical work and writing.

Getting more for the price point!
Color: Green
The MDC 12/24 Hour Military Wrist Watch, with Date and Day ostensibly is an homage to the old military issue watches of the WWII era. At this price point my expectations for look, style, performance, durability were not very high. I was pleasantly surprised! The watch comes in a small black slender box within a sleeve, protected by felt cushion cut out in the shape of the watch. Immediately, what I term a "utilitarian elegance" jumped out at me. Very handsome and durable look that hints of delicate handling but is hefty and rugged. It is a minimalist watch with simple but lasting durability and precision. I've worn the watch for over a week, and though this is not a great deal of time nor is this a comprehensive review, I've so far come away with the impression that with the MDC you are getting more than you paid for. Keeps great time and if you should ding it or scratch it, you wont feel guilty considering the price point. In fact, I am so impressed with this time piece that I bought a total of three (one in each color offered).

Comfortable - rugged look.
Color: Black-Green
Comfortable - rugged look. Battery lasted 2 years and 2 months. Did buy again as it was less expensive to buy the watch again than replace battery for me. Actually was $3 less on the 2nd purchase.

Watch pin broke after normal war and tear.
Color: Black-Green
Good watch, I really liked it. The pins holding the watch to band are not durable. Normal wear and the pins popped off, I bought this watch 33 days ago. Now I can't wear it or return it.

"Stylish and Functional Guess Wallet!"
This is a fantastic wallet that combines style and practicality! The sleek black design features the iconic Quattro G monogram print on the leather (or faux-leather). It has a contrasting stripe with the "GUESS" logo on the front, giving it a modern and sophisticated edge. Despite its slim, compact silhouette, it offers great organization. It typically includes multiple card slots, slip pockets, a clear ID window, and a full-size bill compartment, providing ample space for all your essentials while keeping a flat profile in your pocket. Many customers appreciate the durable material and the high-end look without the high-end price. It often comes in a gift box, making it an ideal present for any occasion. Overall, it's a stylish and functional accessory that reflects the brand's fashionable legacy.
