He called for his mother

Seeing approaching death, George Floyd cried for his mother; two years dead.

Seeing approaching death, Jesus cried for his father:

And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani.
which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?  Mark 15:34.

When some of those standing nearby heard this, they said, "Behold, He is calling Elijah." 

Jesus a bible scholar, and Rabbi (teacher) was speaking in Aramaic;  quoting a Psalm. Something that doubtless he would have known, since, as a child, he would often "runn oft"  to the temple engaging in debates with priests and rabbis, whenever his parents went to Jerusalem. This conduct that caused concern to Mother Mary. To this concern, Jesus replied "Wist ye not that I should be about my father's business." He was not talking about Joseph or carpentry.


I do not know if George Floyd called for his mother, in the ninth minute.


Like George Floyd, I may never recover; homicide by asphyxia; for this may haunt me forever. But at least, I have life.
