QUOTE : Mary Catherine and I left Seamus on a bench in front of the courtroom, where he found no rest. Every third person who passed him asked for a word or a blessing. God bless my grandfather. He didn’t refuse a soul. Despite his own personal pain, he took the time to help others. He was like an entirely different person from the one who caused trouble at my house on a regular basis. A young Muslim woman wearing a hijab stopped, kneeled next to him, and asked for his prayers. Seamus said, “Are you of the faith, my daughter?” She looked at him with wide, dark eyes and said, “I believe in God.” Seamus smiled, patted her on the shoulder, and said, “That’s all anyone could ask.” That made the woman smile. It made me smile, too.
