Every complaint I have is meaningless. Every day I think about how much Kevin suffered for so long, courageously. With three healthy children, anything I regard a ‘problem’ is simply ridiculous. I will always admire Kevin and his family for their strength and faith.
There is only so much that can be learned in the classroom.
The classroom is a place for going through the motions, and real life is where those motions turn into reality. We often forget theology in times of crisis, but what has happened here has well changed the course of each life Kevin touched. He altered the view of theology and life itself for so many people.
In his own, very public, suffering we saw a very human side of theology, one of pain, one of anguish. Jesus himself went through much pain on the cross for us and, as Kevin did, died in a way where he gave that suffering to help those whom he loved.
Kevin taught me more about morality than his father did so many years ago. He taught me faith better than the many teachers I have had because his always strong faith led me to a better life.
Kevin, you will not be forgotten and the path you have led me too makes me eternally grateful for your public trials.
God bless Healey family, your son is right up there with the Saints now.
