During the week beginning April 16, 2017, I had the opportunity to travel through the beautiful country of Romania. There were two notable deaths that occurred in that week roughly ten years apart–one on April 16, 2007, and the other on April 19, 2017. I’d like to reflect on those incidents with you.
