I made this for my dad…okay, truth be told, I made it for me…and for you, though I would give anything for him to be here to see and hear it for himself. Set to my all-time favorite song, Grateful Dead’s Box of Rain, it never occurred to me that the lyrics were, as Phil Lesh explained in the video here, “…so apt, so perfect…” for all that my dad would face over his last few months.

I hope you enjoy this easy, five-minute glimpse into my dad’s life.
