Tin Foil Soldier

dooce: Christie

if nothing else, read today’s dooce, heather’s story about her family/aunt is -powerful- for lack of the right word

I don’t know what I believe in terms of religion, and I’m comfortable with that. I’m okay not knowing. But I’m not okay with the thought that she isn’t where she thought she would be when she died. I want her truth to be true for her. I want her to be made whole and living with the God that guided her through her life. She was just too good of a human being for her to be cheated of that.

So when we go to the viewing tonight and the funeral tomorrow I’m going to believe for her, even if just for a day. I don’t know how else to honor a woman who gave her life to that religion, to scores of children, to her mother, to the belief that she was working toward something much bigger. Today, for my aunt, I’m going to believe in her God.

i almost dont want to put it in the crazy-in-tar-webs group, because its more serious than the group name allows
