Some thoughts on the funeral mass

[Inuca]

I saw much of it as Teddy's last statement on who he is and what he stands for. If my understanding is correct, he planned much of the content, readings, etc. himself. The priest's commentary on social justice, and especially the succession of the young ones quoting Teddy's words... it was like Teddy speaking to everybody from the other side, a last entreaty to keep fighting on. Unvelievable.

Also, I think I fell in love with Vicky. I knew close to nothing about her until these last few days, barely familiar even with what she looks like. I was moved by the expression of deep sadness borne with grace and deep acceptance whenever the camera stopped on her. A very beautful woman. I was also impressed by Patrick K. Given his personal problems, I think that what he said and the way he said it was a small act of personal heroism.
