my story behind --RIP Christopher Hitchens (1949-2011)

So just now I found an article that said Christopher Hitchens died by cancer 2 days ago. You may asked who's the guy? before answer that question I gotta share a little bit of my story.
I don't know how, but 2 days ago I ended up watching Mother Teresa (2003) movie on youtube. It was such an insightful experience. I won't say it's Oscar-level movie, but as simple as it performs, I think the movie is really exposing a one true lessons on my life, which is to share, to love, and to give.
I then searched Mother Teresa article on Wikipedia, I read about her there, and I found that there's also a doc-movie titled Hell's Angel aired on channel 4 BBC, and was made to question her and her liability work as nun, as missionary, as idol, and as a figure or celeb at the time. I searched about it, and found it on Youtube. I didn't watched the entire movie, just couple minutes early --and (maybe) as many other audiences who left their comment there, I too left my comment without exactly finish the doc-movie. I dislike it, and I said:

why do you hate people who give love? despite all the rumors, she keeps people -those who the most unwanted and unloved, alive.

For you who think have helped these kind of people and think it's wrong can throw the first stone.

The days passed. Then just now I read that Christopher Hitchens died by cancer that contracted him since last year (2010). Who's he? He is the movie-maker that made the Hell's Angel doc-movie. This news intrigued me. "Oh waw. How come He died the day I watched Mother Teresa movie on youtube? the movie that I was unintended-ly watched?"
You may think I am overreacting or something like that, but for me, I found it more than coincidence. And more over, the article I read about his death is asking the reader to pray for him (or as I think so), and I am willing to pray for him. I also commented on that article saying:
I want to join you guys praying for him, one Hail Mary each day for his soul. In my opinion, people might confuse, why would we pray for the enemy, I mean “don’t we have more important things to do?” well I guess, it’s what more important.
Like Blessed Mother Teresa from Calcutta said on one of her poem “because by giving we’re receiving” (funny story, Hitchens is the one who made cynical documentary about her on his ‘Hell’s Angel’ doc-movie).
I just became so interested because, exactly 2 days ago I ‘accidentally’ watched ‘Mother Teresa (2003)’ on youtube, and soon after that I read an articleabout C.Hitchens’ Hell’s Angel. And just today, I know that he died 2 days ago. I found it more than just a coincidence.
yeah I adore Mother Teresa, she's awesome in many ways. Her teachings will last forever, and I will make contributes to keep them alive.
