Re: the pope
Truly amazing how much he did in his life time. Perhaps the most touching aspect is the people of different religions that comment on how he made them closer to their own faith. He always stated that faith is a powerful thing, and as long as you have it no matter which form it takes, to keep it close to your heart.
I was lucky enough in my life time to celebrate an Easter mass with the Pope. I was younger, so faith did not have the impact it does now. Yet, I recall him going through tons of languages and greeting people to the Vatican. It was amazing how many people were there, and also the human spirit present. I have never felt that kind of feeling in my life. Probably one of the most beautiful and touching moments in my life. I can only reflect that I wished the world was united like that. We could do so much together, and I am not stating under the same roof, but as humans that live on this planet together. I can only hope that the death of Pope makes some people reflect on how important every individual is. God abiding or not, we are all humans and we are here together.
He will be missed. To me he was like my second Father, and also a national hero. A man that used his words and heart to change a communist country into a free one. That is how we humans have to work, not by the use of blood and violence, but by talking and respecting one another.

I will miss you my friend, but I will never let you out of my heart.
