A tear shed for a man worth knowing

I got back from a funeral for a man I didn't ever get a chance to know. From the stories that were told at the heartbreaking service, I got the sense that he would forever live on within the hearts of those who knew and loved him. As an outsider, I deeply regretted missing out on his grace during his lifetime, but I felt his strong presence all day, and I allowed myself to cry for his family, who are working so hard to keep themselves together.

The world keeps losing great people, why are all the iniquitous ones sticking around?

Food for thought.

Rest in peace David. You will always be missed. Sustain your presence amongst those that really need you.
