So little time, just three short years,
\n<\/span><\/span>and so much to convey. One way
\n<\/span><\/span>you chose was telling gripping stories<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

or sharing bread and wine with those
\n<\/span><\/span>you loved, which now, two thousand
\n<\/span><\/span>years later, is part of our own story.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Stripped of dignity, agency, even rags
\n<\/span><\/span>to hide your shame, you stretched and
\n<\/span><\/span>pulled the sky down to witness tragedy,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

embodying the qualities of forgiveness
\n<\/span><\/span>and pure love we applauded in your tales
\n<\/span><\/span>of the Good Samaritan and Prodigal Son.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

As you hang, helpless, offering a final gift
\n<\/span><\/span>to your mother and beloved friend, is this
\n<\/span><\/span>the story’s happy ending you expected?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
