Made me cry again.

This funeral was personal to me because I once attended a convention where I sat in on one of congressman Lewis’s speeches. It was kind of a side speech on a side day so there weren’t very many people in the room and my friend and I sat right in the front row not 10 feet away from him. Out of all the speakers I went to see that weekend, he was by far the best. He had us rolling in laughter with his stories, and knowing we were in the presence of someone very special.
