I went to the funeral of my friend’s brother today. He was 58, developmentally handicapped, a kind, hard working man. He made the decision in life to be a Democrat… in Idaho. He worked on every campaign. Frank Church and Cecil Andrus knew him by name. He also decided to be a Bronco, way before there was a reason to cheer. He had season tickets to football and basketball games for almost 40 years. He never missed a game. He missed his sister’s wedding, but not the game.
It was a beautiful service. His brother gave a thoughtful eulogy, very wise and witty. The displayed cowboy boots and the Bronco balloons just fit. So did the music, Morning Has Broken (my favorite Cat Stevens song), Let There Be Peace On Earth, and Happy Trails to You. The music was happy, sweet, and perfect.
