Papa Was A Rolling Stone, But…

I got out of bed on Monday morning April 28th,1997 after a sleepless night
Papa was A Rolling Stone
and looked out at a beautiful spring morning. The birds were chirping like crazy, there was a nice little breeze and as I looked at the sky thru the 26 pine trees I could see from my kitchen window, I realized that my Daddy wouldn’t be seeing that sky any more.
