Who Is the Father of Doreen Picard

Is God the Father of Doreen

The Father of Jesus Christ

Maybe someday, the white building at the corner of Pulaski Boulevard and Bellingham Street will be famously known as “The Father’s House of Doreen Picard.”

Maybe it will become something like Elder Ballou Meeting House was a long time ago; on Elder Ballou Meeting House Road in Cumberland, Rhode Island near its border with Woonsocket.

Maybe Doreen will become known as “a lady of the Lord” who laid down her life for a friend.

“Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.” -Jesus [John 15: 13 ESV Study Bible].

“Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.” -Jesus [John 14: 1-3. ESV Study Bible.

Mark: “Doreen, I still want to walk around the Lake with you. While corresponding with Sandy, she invited me to visit her at Lake Hiawatha; and said we could walk around the Lake. But, I chickened out. I imagined meeting her parents and felt anxiety about that; so, I suggested we meet at Providence College – which she would be entering in September. She was agreeable to that; and that’s what we did. Walking around Lake Hiawatha, though, still seems like a beautiful and lovely thing to do with a lady – especially on a beautiful day. And across the Lake on The Far Side . . . I recall a place called Cranberry Meadows. I drink cranberry juice every day. I don’t know how that region looks now; but it sounds peaceful and maybe romantic. And there is a love song that reminds me of that place at Lake Hiawatha. The song is called, “Jean, Jean.” And Sandy’s middle name is Jean. And Jean and Doreen rhyme; and so does Eileen. And when I met Sandy at the Providence College Library, we were looking at an album of my photographs; and I had placed something I wrote about someone named Jed — who wished he were dead on the last page of the album. And Sandy read it as we sat together in the library. And after reading it, Sandy placed her finger down emphatically on the page and said, “I like that!” I no longer have that writing about JED; however, I just noticed that the first letters of Jean and Eileen and Doreen spell the name JED. Maybe only when I’m dead will I find the love of my life. And there is still another Eileen in my heart. And she was at St. Charles School in my first- grade class there; and she was as pretty as Shirley Temple; and my dad gave her and her brother Ronald Gaouette a ride to school every morning – along with my sister Lesley and me. I was too young in first grade to appreciate how pretty Eileen Gaouette was. I was fascinated by her older brother’s black, leather motorcycle jacket; and his black leather engineer boots; and his blue YMCA bag that he brought to school once a week. A few years later, I joined the YMCA, too; and walked there after school once a week.  Whenever I walk in the Sweet Avenue neighborhood where I grew up and come to the end of that avenue I always stop on Cass Avenue – across from the parking lot where A&P supermarket used to be – and before that it was St. Ann’s Ballpark. Just a short distance behind the houses facing Sweet Avenue is an old, now-boarded-up Quonsette hut. Eileen and her brother Ronald Gaouette and their parents had lived there in 1958-’59 when we were in first-grade at St. Charles School. I am so sorry in my heart that Eileen and I did not become good friends. And there is a pond far behind that Quonsette hut. It’s out of sight; but if you walk along a nameless wilderness road off Cass Avenue [facing Hebert Avenue] you will soon arrive at Sylvester’s Pond. And on the far side of that Pond was Joyland – where many young people used to go on Sunday afternoons to roller skate with their friends. And later, there was a restaurant at that location.
