“Dear God, don’t take Adrian away from me. This is the man I’ve been drawing strength from since I was eleven years old. Never a vigorous man. Not a brilliant man. Not a man whose passing will be noted far and wide. But steady. Trusting. Self-satisfied without being self-absorbed. Devout. Good-natured. Undemanding. Even-tempered. Loving. Holy.”
Jon Hassler, North of Hope
