When Susan and I first met it was ambivalence at first sight. Neither of us were happy being thrown together on a liturgical planning committee at our church in Angola, NY. Sparks flew. Frustration followed. Yet, despite our animosity, the planning produced a wonderful liturgy the people loved and with which we were both extremely pleased. We began to see that we were very much alike and eventually came to realize we didn't like each other because neither of us were happy with ourselves at that point. We brought out the best in each other and remained close friends no matter where she moved.
We kept in touch by way of marathone phone calls lasting 2 - 4 hours easily. I missed her way over there in CA and we managed to actually get together a few times that were never long enough.
She wrote the most beautiful songs for us to sing in church and I will never hear the pop song "Sealed with a Kiss" without remembering her version from the viewpoint of Judas who was tortured knowing he had to betray Jesus to "save" Him. Very controversial to say the least, but also very moving. I miss her everyday and find myself wanting to call her and talk things out... another marathon phone visit.
