Dear Editor,
thankyou thankyou thankyou for letting me be there, through you. I learned of the service at the last minute and thought to jump on a plane but it was too high [priced] by that time. I am sorry I missed this, but I thank you for the lovely creative way you brought us from the bus to the conclusion.
beautiful quote:
From the flow of tears in this sanctuary and from the punctuations of laughter at funny memories, you can feel how the absence of Riad Hamad has been transformed into presence. “There has been some speculation about the circumstances of Riad’s death,” acknowledges Mr. Kelly. “But that’s not what we’re here for.” What we’re here for is a celebration of Riad Hamad’s life.
be well, salamat
ps Riad sent me a big box of bumper stickers!!
