His first answer was no.
Marcus asked Caleb if he wanted to perform.
His first answer was no.
Then, two weeks later, he changed his mind.
The night of the fundraiser, I stood near the back of the room.
Caleb walked onto the small stage carrying David’s guitar.
Marcus was beside me.
“Think he’ll make it through?” he whispered.
“I don’t know.”
Caleb adjusted the microphone.
He looked nervous.

He smiled.
“This was my dad’s favorite song,” he told the room. “I used to think it made me sad because he was gone.”
He paused. “Now
I think it reminds me he was here.”
Then he started playing.
His voice didn’t break.
He didn’t stop halfway through.
When the chorus came, several people in the room quietly joined him.
I cried anyway.
Of course I did.
