I think I was struck a bit about the Pope death because I was young enough to not know there was such things as Pope's and old enough to watch them pick him on the TV and have my mom explain what was going on and for me to "get it". Also when I was 16 I was in Rome and was at a mass blessing by the Pope - I also got to hear him speek. I didn't agree with many things he said but he left enough of an impression on me to think somewhat highly of him. As far as death go....I have had a friend with terminal cancer who was suppose to die last week. Crazy bit is everyone else keeps leaving this world and Joe (who is on his last leg) is still around - guess recently you have to be famous or something.
