The father formerly known as prince.

Another heart-felt letter about Dad, sent to my brother Mac, and forwarded to the other sibs:

Mac, I hope your doing ok. I know this has been a difficult time for you. I know this sounds trite but when my mom died this summer I was struck by the finality of it all. The eternal aspects of the whole thing are just overwhelming.

I think I told you this story, but when I returned to Nashville 24 years ago your Dad wrote me the nicest letter. I had inquired about a job and Alex Buchanan had spoken to your Dad about me. While he had no openings at the time, he wrote me the kindest letter, as if I was an old friend of his coming back to his home town. I took that as an opportunity to call him and we exchanged phone calls for several years after that.

I have never met anyone in this town who didn't think your Dad was just a prince of a man.

I know that as time passes your pain will fade, and you will remember proudly all the great memories you must have.
