Two Good Men, Who Were Also Popes

A number of calls and comments have come my way jokingly ask if I will be going to Rome to attend the funeral for a good man, better known as Pope Francis.

The reason is that by fluke circumstances, I stood in the streets of Rome for the entire funeral service for another good man, better known as Pope John Paul “The Second” (Roman numerals on this?).

When a song played that reminded me of and sounded so much like “My Yiddishe Mama,” a favorite of my father’s, through tears during that moving ceremony, I looked above uttering “See Dad It’s All The Same,” surely exaggerated but largely true.

Maybe remember similar and at least respect, the so many differences in this life.

There is a name for it, you know it—-“Do unto others …….”
