warning--- inappropriate language
Fred Phelps passed away today.
Back in 2005, Scott and I went to an Elton John concert.
To get into the concert we had to walk through a Westboro demonstration.
They called us fag lovers, going to burn in hell, etc.
I just shook my head in disbelief.
There was such an awful feeling in the air.
Then I saw the signs.
My beloved Pope John Paul II's picture
he had just passed away
His face in flames
with signs about hell and the devil
I looked at a young girl holding one of the signs.
Our eyes met.
I can't describe what I saw
I started to shake.
I had never felt such hatred in my heart
in my soul
I wanted to beat the shit out of those people
I have never been in a fight in my life
Scott grabbed me and I remember him telling me that they wanted a reaction from me...they wanted a scene.
I still get a sick feeling about that
How I felt that moment
When you see them on the news and hear about what they are doing. You get mad, get sad, shake your head, what ever feeling you feel.
My son works and lives in Topeka....it is a normal experience for him to see them demonstrating.
I will continue to believe in the goodness of people.
I will continue to hope for the best
I will continue to love.....everyone.
