“As I drove down I-95 in my old smoking Ford Explorer with a blown gasket—the first car I’d ever bought with my own money—I got a phone call from my mom. I heard sniffling and heavy breathing on the other end. She tried to say my name, but her voice cracked. “Mike…” she finally said. “Mom, what’s wrong?” My heart clenched. I knew deep down what she was going to say. “Pop’s gone, Mike. He died.”
