It’s that time again to write Michael Collins a check to mow and weed my father’s grave. I pay him $250 a year. My father was felled by a heart attack 51 years ago. He was 50; I was 23. It still gives me something of a start to climb that hill in Canton, Ohio’s West Lawn Cemetery and come upon his grave. To see his name — my name, Theodore Gup — etched into the granite, reminds me of that scene in Dickens’ A Christmas Carol when Scrooge stands before his own grave.
