Each year I try to follow my best friend Jesus as he navigates his final week.
On Friday I try to “be with him” throughout the day during his horrible ordeal.
I call it a horrible ordeal, but he calls it a triumph, and he says, “I did this for you, Sam, because I love you, and you so desperately needed me to do this for you.
