I had a new girlfriend and it was time to meet the parents (yikes). I traveled all the way from Palm Bay. When I first pulled on to the property my Jeep was attacked by Shadow, a large vicious (to those he didn't know) German Shepard defending his home. Not a great way to start. After Shadow was put in the back yard I entered the Big House and sitting in his chair on the other side of the counter was a man who, at the time, looked like his sole purpose in life was to tear me apart. Across form him was a woman who fully intended to beat the "hell out of me" with a wooden spoon if I made one misstep. Little did I know at the time that these to people would "adopt" me as their own and come to trust me with so many things. I even eventually became friends with the dog! It was my privilege to know them and be part of their family. Thank you Granddaddy for your kindness, your advise, the example you set for a young man who thought he knew everything but knew very little. I will miss you.
