I went to Aubrey's funeral today. Never before have I seen so many people of so many cultures in one place at one time. It was good to see the bonding that should exist in society.
It was very sad though. His mother helped everyone cry. She couldn't stop sobbing and begging God to leave her alone - "haven't I been punished enough??" This is the second son she's lost.
No mother should have to go through that.
Society has lost an important person. Someone who will have made a difference. I am glad I went to his funeral, and I am hope that his memory will continue to build the bridge between cultures...
