Will Reid, quiet and composed, stepped through the dew-covered grass toward the familiar headstone that bore his father’s name: Harold Reid. In his hand was a small notebook — weathered, soft at the edges — the same one he used to jot down lyrics and prayers. There was no crowd, no press, no fanfare. Just the morning fog curling through the cemetery and a silence that spoke louder than any song. He knelt gently by the grave and whispered, “Dad, I brought something for you.” Then, with a trembling voice, he read a few lines — words never released to the world, written for the man who taught him harmony, humor, and how to love through music. He didn’t cry. He didn’t need to. The stillness said it all. For Will Reid, this wasn’t a goodbye. It was a soft, sacred thank-you… delivered from a son to the father who still sings in every note he sings.
