He had jokes, always It’s been a year this week since my daddy left this earth to take up residency inside his mansion in glory. I love to laugh at the thought of anyone thinking Bob Skutt is dressed like cupid, Casper or flying around in angel wings. Y’all, Bob, isn’t fluttering about watching overContinue reading “My father is not a saint, a ghost nor an angel”

Just Another Predictable Tuesday, Until It Wasn’t
We are inching up to the first heaveniversary of daddy’s death. I decided I didn’t want to forget the details of that day from my perspective.
