15.Mom wanted only one thing for her birthday."Can you find me another copy of this song?"she asked,and handed me a worn-out cassette tape.I know exactly what was recorded on it-"My Redeemer(救世主)."I heard the song played at least a thousand times while growing up.After 37years,the cassette tape was too worn-out to be used.I promised her I would find a replacement.
"My Redeemer"had become Mom's favorite song after my younger brother Tim was killed by a drunk driver in 1973.The only thing that helped her calm down was the soulful sound of"My Redeemer"from the local radio station.We recorded it on a cassette tape so she would listen to it any time she wanted,but none of us knew who the singer was.These days,I figured it would be easy to find out.I went home and searched the Internet.Several songs with that title came out,but none of them were the one Mom loved.I got depressed.
Mom's birthday drew near and then one day,I was driving home,listening to our local radio station.I heard a familiar song,"My Redeemer!"As soon as I could,I phoned the station.I found out the singer was Alan Parks.I typed his name into Google and found his home number in South Carolina.Minutes later,I was telling him how much his recording meant to Mom.He offered to post two CDs to me personally.I gave him my address.
"Red Lion,Pennsylvania?"he said."Do you know the Logans?""They're our neighbours!""I've been friends with them for 25years,"Alan said."They'll be at my concert at Your Gospel Chapel on April 17th.Would you and your mom come,too?"We sure would.Mom was excited to hear Alan sing"My Redeemer",on the evening of her 87th birthday.
