Billy:
So grateful I rearranged seating to sit with you.
You remind me of what I wanted to be.
Somehow the world, with all it's cruelty, has left you, you. Intact.Your love for Louise evident in every gesture; your undeniable grace in the face of humiliation which would deject any man; the profound love you carry for your children; and above all, your whisper soft gentle spirit which appears as the infinite patience of a believer.
You believe. Still. Despite. In the face of.
Right beside: turmoil, fear, pain, rejection, and the vast unknown.
To know you, even if only briefly, is to know kind.
