Backing Up With Mirrors

My dad, who is the reason I'm in the funeral industry, worked for the phone company all his life. His vehicle was one of those big, full size vans with no windows anywhere except the rear and side doors. Due to this, my dad learned early on how to safely maneuver his van in traffic using only his mirrors. Anytime he was in the car when I was driving, and I would look out my rear windshield to back up, he would say, "Don't you know how to back up using your mirrors?" And I would tell him no, because I never mastered that skill, until I came to work at the funeral home. We have two hearses, one of which we use exclusively for removals. We park this under our carport, and we back it in so we can pull straight out whenever we need to use it. Visibility in a hearse is awful, so, like my father, I've learned how to maneuver in traffic and how to back up using my mirrors. Whenever I park the hearse, I always softly say out loud, "Look, Dad, I'm backing up with mirrors."
