Rob,

I just learned that my father has terminal cancer (a tumor in his Pancreas that has spread to his stomach). I am not really sure how long he has to live, as I have requested from my Mother that I do not wish to know. My reason for making this choice is quite simple…I just want to enjoy and cherish every moment I have left with him, without subconsciously counting the days.

Anyway, my reason for submitting a comment here is because I came into work early this morning to get some work done and take off early so I could spend the afternoon with Dad. I decided to listen to your album “Something to Be” and as soon as I heard the first bits of the piano on “Now Comes the Night”, I immediately knew that it was going to be a special song….I just had NO IDEA how truly meaningful it would be.

I plan on sharing this song with my Mother and Father as I feel that it will probably say exactly what they are feeling. I know that poems, lyrics, songs, music, etc. can have many different meanings to many different people (that is the true beauty of any piece of art), but I was wondering if you could please relay to me the true meaning of the song? If you could do so, I cannot put into words how grateful I would be.

If not, I understand and would still like to THANK YOU so much for providing a song that will forever be etched in my memory.

Sincerely,
Fred Carroll Jr.
