Today my husband and I went to a funeral. Mind you, I never met this man, and expected that we were there to show respect to his son, who is a world-renown, incredibly devoted and equally loved physician. It is no surprise that our friend is a life-long friend to many.

After our friend began with, "My father was not formally educated, yet was an uncommon man," I was glued. I wanted to know so much more, now that my curiosity was piqued. I had always wondered what kind of parents created and raised this amazing friend we hold dear, and now I would finally know!
