Both Popes appear today

Is it wrong that I see Pope Benedict and feel a confusing mix of emotions. I miss him, I feel angry with him for leaving us, and I feel sad. Mainly I feel confused about what I feel...but beyond that I feel a deep affection for him that I cannot even force myself to feel for Pope Francis. Pope Benedict I love you and pray for you.
