My Granddaddy And My
Dad
My grandfather was a very handsome man with a tall skinny
build and he wore glasses. He was a very hardworking man that believed in
taking care of his family. When He came
home from work he was tired, so he would
stretch his back out on the floor waiting for supper to get ready. I can
remember us kids jumping on top of granddaddy
giggling and He loved every minute of it.
My dad had become ill with polio when he was young, so my dad always walked around with a limp because
one leg was shorter than other, but my dad never seemed to stop working. My dad liked to take apart things to see how
they worked and then he would put them back together again. He was a tool guy and He could fix any
car. His hands were always dirty looking
even when they were clean and I liked it
because I knew my daddy was a hard worker and I was proud of him. My dad always told us good morning in a very
cheerful way and He loved to hear us girls just chatter away like little girls usually
do.
One of my fondest memories with my dad was when we sat on the
front porch swing and he would listen to me sing. My daddy didn't go to church, but on an occasion,
but he did go later on in life. My daddy sat close
beside me, there as I sang the
children's song. "Come Into My
Heart Lord Jesus". along with the other songs I had learned in
Sunday School.
