When Mother and I learned that Father was dying, Father asked me to sing for him, " she said. "Mother insisted that I only sing songs from their youthful days together. She wanted me to take her mind off Father's pain, But when she stepped away, Father asked me to sing songs about pain. About loss. About the world without him. When I played those songs, he would cry. It was the only way he could cry. And now it's the only way I know to cry."" We need you to lead us in crying, Lesyl, or we'll drown in unshed tears."
