Timothy S. Conroy

We buried Tim in La Jolla, Ca today. Big Funeral. Lots of friends and family.
Very sad. He leaves a hole in all our lives that will never be filled.

He loved life. He loved his family. He will be sorely missed.

I have found myself in silent prayer often over this weekend of mourning for Tim. Its been such a tumultous, emotional week. The pope died. Terry Schiavo died.

So many prayers issued. So many people seeking understanding of God's mysterious way. As for me, I wonder why God decided that Tim's work on earth was done, when it appeared to me that he had so much left to do. Its probably a sin for me to think that way. Most people pray when we lack understanding. We pray that we have done right when we have done our unknowing best.

"Farther along we'll know all about it.
Farther along we'll understand why.
Cheer up my brothers live in the sunshine.
We'll understand it all by and by."

Back to Texas tomorrow.
