A smile.My son admits freely he made a terrible choice for a wife. She was in the USAF and raised a Mormon in Utah.Before a divorce they produced a beautiful grandson for us. The boy was my Life. Hi took him to work with me as a general contractor. Changed his diapers and gave him bottles.In the dead of night while my son was working a mid shift, she left. Taking Ben and every thing they owned. I received a letter once a year for 4 years mailed by her friends from different states. When he was Five she contacted me ans said he could come to NC to visit for the summer if I swore to send him back and would cover all expense. I did.the reason for the post:Of course he attended church with us, He was and is a great guy. In church on Sunday morning when our pastor got wound up in his sermon, little Ben pulled my sleeve and whispered, Grandpa, why is he yelling at us?He will never know how many times I have thought of that over the years during church services. He always says on his yearly visits, Grandpa, I still remember praying with you in your Vacation Bible Schools in the summer. I can never forget that.I could say a lot more, but this was about that one statement a child made that I still remember. ________________Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/
Re: The right impression was made!
Thanks, I do love that young man. I look forward to the summer. He can no longer stay the summer, he must work of course, but we get one or two weeks with him. And he still attends church here. I am working on an AG and COG for him to visit there in Clearfield, UT.The AG and 4SQ have a fair presence there. We have visited the COG there also.Anyway Thanks my friend.Love to the family________________Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/
