He waSTSo voiing!rk fc-• r. So young and stron S ffilWv ith promisr So vital, so radiant, gBpjiig s nuch joy wherever he went. He was so brilliant. On this boy you lavished so many talents that could have ■ enriched your world. He had already received so many honors, and there were so many honors to come. Why, then? In our agony we ask. Why him? Why not someone less gifted? Someone less good? Some hot-headed rioter, theif, brute, hood? Yet we know, even as we demand what seems to us a rational answer, that we are only intensifying our grief. Plunging deeper into the blind and witless place where all hope is gone. A dark lost place where our own gifts will be blunted and ruin replace the goodness he brought and wished for us. Instead, let us thank you for the marvel that this boy was. That we can say good-bye to him without shame, or regret, rejoicing in the blessed years he has given to us. Knowing that his bright young life, his many gifts, have not truly been wasted or stilted, only lifted to a higher level where the rest of us can't follow yet. Separation? Yes. Loss? Never. For his spirit will be with us always and when we meet him again, we will be even more proud. Thank-you for this answer, God.
