It is now almost a quarter of a century ago when my mother was suddenly dying one day in the hospital. There was nothing more that could be done for her but to be with her. Late that evening I left the hospital after she had peacefully fallen asleep forever. I got into the car to drive home. I started the engine and turned on the radio. It was just playing Randy Crawford's One Day I'll Fly a Way in the first strains. A beautiful and comforting song at the same time that I will never forget.

[@peterrooke5336]
