Aiden wrote this poem "Legacy" in March of 2008 a few months before his death: "All of us want our memory saved, long after we come to pass. We want a piece of us engraved, or captured, as if behind glass. We all want to leave behind a legacy, so that we'll live on in our endeavors. To want otherwise would simply be a lunacy, for then we'd be forgotten forever. As for mine, I don't ask for much, I don't need to be very far-famed. I want to be good, and remembered as such. With that legacy, I wouldn't be ashamed."

Was that Fr. Gorges I heard at the beginning? I remember him from when I was a child. It's been a long time. I'll be back eventually, I'm sure. Thank you, Fr. Thomas, for the podcasts - and Merry Christmas!
