He was in sorrow with me. And just as with Lazarus, Shirley will arise on the last day. All this came to me on the flight back, up 36,000 miles in the sky. And I recalled that she'd read her Bible more on this trip than she had in a long time, and she was enjoying herself, so all of that helps my heart.

The trip was to celebrate both of our retirements. She'd retired from IBM after 25 years, and I'd retired from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services after 33 years. We'd never taken three weeks' vacation before.

We were reflecting on the highlights of our trip, and she told me to see whether the train had arrived to start boarding. I returned to the table and beckoned for her to come on.

We were there when 15 new cardinals were being inducted.
