Dear Desmond Tutu was a GREAT Man.
He was one of my heroes. An august member in my small & very select pantheon of heroes alongside the likes of: Gandhi, Mandela, Churchill, Lincoln, Obama, Ulysses S. Grant et. al. I turned to him for inspiration. He never failed me.
He reminded me, greatly, of my Doctor Uncle (my adoptive mother’s brother who was indeed a doctor). They were the same height, both dark, both bundles of energy, both with the same wonderful gift of humor — & BOTH devoted to serving their country & others. I miss my uncle, & now I will miss MY MAN, Desmond.
He was good man. If he was Catholic (& maybe it is a good thing that he wasn’t) he would have made a great Pope. One as good as my favorite Pope, John XXIII.
There is no much I need to say about Dear Desmond. His record will ever proclaim what a treasure he was.
I will just leave you with these two YouTube videos.
Thank YOU Desmond. You made a HUGE difference. I will miss you.
