That’s funny. I appreciate humour on these realizations.
At his funeral, the pastor was talking about how my friend wasn’t the most regular attender at church, but he was valued by many. The pastor then gave a whole bunch of examples, and summed it up with something like “And though it may not have been obvious, he was a real saint.”
Later on you could go up to the microphone and say a little something about him. One of his old buddies said “Well - I’ve heard Frank called a lot of things - but ‘saint’ was never one of them!”
