Before Mass another friend, David, who's been down over 37 years, told me he is finally going home. David is another who had a parole date that got snatched by the Governor. He won his fight in Superior Court after a guy named Angelo wrote a writ for him. At the end of the service, the priest called David up to the altar and said a prayer over him.
Called Mom after chapel. She picked up after the second ring. Told me about the funeral of a close family friend: Mr. James, died at the age of 82. He lived across the street and I grew up with his kids. My mom said everyone turned out for the funeral. She gave Mr. James' son a hug for me. His daughter Karen mentioned reading a letter I'd written to their father before he passed-- it made him smile.
