today i am wearing the locket he gave me as a girl that has always meant so much to me. it has pictures of my mom and dad in their early twenties inside and on the back of the locket it says, “God loves you & so do I.” this is a familiar saying to some, but from Grandaddy the “& so do I” means so much.
