When I saw you mention in your recent post that the great-grandmothers hadn't seen your new grandson yet, but didn't mention great-grandpa, I knew it must have happened. I am so sorry. :( <br /><br />Those fathers-in-law are something else, aren't they? David's daddy passed away back in 1987, but there's not a day that goes by without us thinking of him. Somebody will say or do something, and there he is again. <br /><br />May our Heavenly Father bring you all comfort as you grieve such a deep loss. You're in my prayers.Suzanne McClendonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15563562309945754772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-76875173293801312762017-07-12T18:23:50.948-04:002017-07-12T18:23:50.948-04:00I missed this edition of the Hodgepodge for variou...I missed this edition of the Hodgepodge for various reasons so I've only just learned off your loss.
