The world saw not only Johnny Carson the entertainer.
It saw Johnny Carson the human being.
A man who stopped speaking because someone’s story touched him.
A man who allowed a moment of silence because some moments are too important to rush.
And a little girl who walked onto a famous television stage carrying nothing more than a letter, a watch, and the memory of her father.
Years later, people would continue remembering that night because it represented something simple but powerful.
Love does not disappear when someone is gone.
Sometimes it survives through memories.
Sometimes through traditions.
