All the hope... All the despair.... This is for Troy. And ourselves.

[AmBlue]

It's all there... in one exquisite piece of music. Let this just wash over you.

Let us vow never to let hope be extinguished. May we never rest in the battle for what is good in this world.

May his soul be at peace.

4. It was no trouble at all. It was the very least I could do.

And yes I certainly would do the same for Officer MacPhail. I would wish this music to soothe the bitter wounds of all who were stricken by this tragedy.

If I've made an error of omission, I apologize. It is simply because it wasn't the officer who was killed today, nor was he killed in a way that was sanctioned by the state. Nonetheless, I also wish him and his family peace-- and justice.
