The End
"'I guess it's really all over now,' he said. 'Yes, it's over Casper,' I said. It felt like I was at the end of a very long story, but I knew it was only the beginning. I knew that Casper and I had many, many years ahead. I looked around me. They were all there, everyone I cared about. Well, not quite. Ardelene, Jace, and Dave joined us just then and I felt complete. This was my family. Casper hugged me tightly and gave me a loving kiss on the lips. There wasn't a single disapproving glance. No one there cared that we were both boys. They knew that love was love, and that Casper and I loved each other as deeply as it was possible for two souls to love. We were meant to be together and nothing could come between us. Ardelene smiled at us and I knew everything was going to be okay. I knew I was in a better place." --from A Better Place by Mark Roeder
What a great ending to a book that I have loved reading over the past week and half. Funny how when you're reading and the book interests you, you can wish it would go on forever and it takes such a short time to get through, yet when you're reading stuff for school it takes weeks and months on end just to read a couple chapers...BLAH!
I read a couple articles on catholic.org about how same-sex marriages will destroy the modern day family and practically kill off all morality. Jeez...our wonderful Church knocking so many people, and probably quite a few members...sometimes I wonder. They are my roots, and I love the work they do, but if they keep insulting, I just don't know. Maybe I'll spin-off the "ultimate Catholic" religion, since that's what I've sometimes been called, a person who really does believe in equality for all and that God did create us equal and loved no matter who we are, as long as we're true to love and a good, wholesome life.
Bah...just an upsetting article to upset me before bed, but I'll let the good books I've read in the past 3 weeks ease my mind. Yea for literature that embraces difference and spreads the word for the need of equality!!!
Love y'all!
