It was Christmas Eve. Mom and Dad had gone to 6:00 Mass, and Sam and DJ and I were putting together dinner before family gift time. When Mom and Dad arrived home, we were setting the table and getting ready to eat when Sam piped up, "I would like us to read this inspirational reading as a family before dinner."
Mom was touched. Picking inspirational readings was not particularly Sam-esque. We sat down, and Sam distributed the copies he had made.
"I'll begin. Please join in.
Good-bye Norma Jean, though I never knew you at all, you had the strength to hold yourself while those around you crawled..."
Our collective Walter voice joined together on the cold winter night to the sweet words of Sir Elton John.
