AT THE AGE OF 3, JAMES, DOYLE'S FATHER DIED.
AS A CONSEQUENCE, HIS MOTHER HAD TO WORK. LEAVING
HER SON AT HOME IN A CRIB, SHE WOULD HAVE A
NEIGHBOR FREQUENTLY CHECK IN ON HIM. ONE DAY AS
HE WAS IN HIS CRIB, THE SMILING FACE OF HIS FATHER
APPEARED TO HIM IN THE CORNER OF HIS ROOM. SEEING
HIS FATHER, HE WHISPERED, "DADDY." THE FACE SHOOK
ITS HEAD YES AND THEN DISAPPEARED.
