I caught his tears as they fell on my arms. They often fall now. But this person is allowed to share them. This person has shown for a long time nothing but Love. A deep, simple, compassionate love. A love that belongs to God. We don’t know what the future holds with this person. They are in many ways, our friend, our family. A child, a parent, a sibling. A gift to others who stand in places where the world judges, where we may have judged. |
It is a privilege that this person is a part of my life. And it is a privilege I share with many. This person is someone different wherever we are, whoever we share life with. God seems to make sure there are plenty of this person around. They carry humility, genuineness, simplicity, courage, and compassion. You always know them when you bump into them. They give you, give us, cause to know love.
