Saying good bye takes a long time when it's a person who's been well-loved
like this Sunday morning's fare well service to Pastor Walter John Boris
complete with elephant note cards on which we record our fondest times--
mine of the pillar candle he told us to bring for son-in-law Michael
that we've lit each week alongside two tall tapers in candelabra;
how he's gathered us over the years--for me the past two, and Sunday
before Michael deployed when the congregants spilled out to the center
aisle to lay hands while Pastor prays for safe return, preservation
of my son-in-law's integrity, peace for the people of Iraq.
