My Battle with Merkel Cell Cancer

156
I sat, reflected, and realized that dad may have passed away, but he left his children
ready to take on the world.
Dad often listened to the Kingston Trio. In the days after he died, I found myself tearing
up when I played their song "Reverend Mr. Black":
It's been many years since we had to part. I guess I learned his ways by heart. I can still
hear his sermon's ring, down in the valley where he used to sing. I followed him, yes, sir,
and I don't regret it and I hope I will always be a credit to his memory 'cause I want you to
understand. The Reverend Mr. Black was my old man!
