Letting Go Feeding finished, he lay still, at rest upon his wooden bed, dead to the world, anguish over, content. A shadow fell across the child, cast by crossing beams. The Second Samuel slept. His mother, though, distressed, gently took him in her arms, held him close against her breast and gave him one more final parting kiss. Fr Paul
