Letting Go

Maybe if he hadn't become a priest thing would be different. Maybe Frankie wouldn't have lost faith, maybe he wouldn't have tried to kill himself and maybe he wouldn't have succeeded. These were the things that Gerard though of each day when he was supposed to be praying for the souls in his congregations. But how could he help them when he hadn't even been able to help his best friend? He hadn't been able to save Frankie and he was doing a shitty job taking care of himself now that the other boy was gone.
