The one that almost was

Back in April of 2006, I blogged about Anthony.
(See http://newfromclt.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html)

Now it's Manny's turn. Trouble is, Manny never had a chance. Something happened, we don't know what. About two months too early. Now, he will never have the chance to know how much we care.

About Anthony, I said he could teach us a lot. God can use Manny the same way. Manny has the opportunity, even though he never knew us, to teach us. In death, Manny can teach us how to deal with life. He can teach us the how to help other people. And he can teach us how to help ourselves.

Thank you Manny for what you will be doing for us. Maybe somehow, someday we can begin to understand or at least to understand what you have meant to us and will mean to us.
