JP II, we love you.

I woke up in paradise to a world mourning over one great loss. I saw you when you came here for 1995's World Youth day. You had the reddest cheeks i've ever seen, and you glowed in a way a 12 year old would gaze over but wouldn't understand.To the only pope our generation knew, grew up to and loved, you will be missed. What big shoes to fill.

one tough act to follow
