"Amazing Grace" - a concert of gospel music performed by the renowned singer, Aretha Franklin. What a performance! She'd take a single word, a vowel, a sound and expand it beyond the bounds of the familiar. The result...her vocalizations reached the heavens. It was utterly captivating.
Her father was in attendance, and his expression of love for her only enhanced this unforgettable event.
And as I watched him gently and lovingly wipe the beads of perspiration from her brow,
I reflected on my own dad, who passed just a year ago...and how a father's love can make so much possible.
