But God Does

I had a long, catch-up phone call with Sally the other day. She told me a sad tale of friends of theirs who recently lost a son to suicide. They felt they understood their son, knew him, but after his death - on looking through his Bible and seeing his highlightings, notes - felt there was a whole dimension to his life they were unaware of...It reminds me of a most interesting comment Louise made after Andy's death. So many people then came to her with their personal interactions with Andy, so many things he had said and done that she was completely unaware of. She said to me, "You know, Barb, you don't really know a person until he is dead."
