Jethro’s Faithful Fathering

  Jethro’s Faithful Fathering Introduction: I love my Dad.  I am so grateful for him.  Our relationship has changed drastically over the years.  It is fun to see how he reacts with my children now.  It is really funny to see him in that grandfatherly role now.  Dad will always be Dad to me.  However, he is Pop to my boys.  A few years ago, Jack was learning to read and he came to the marvelous discover.  He said, “you know what Pop, you are one ‘o’ away from Poop”.
