The brother of my grandfather on my Daddy's side - Killed in a tragic mishap at a young age - I think he was 19.
"There but the grace
of God goes I"
First time I met my Uncle Calvin (least as far as I remember!), Aunt Callie was in the hospital at Candler - I think they called her Aunt Sis - I was a respiratory therapist at the time and I was taking care of her 'cause she was on life support. I remember Aunt Lamar used to sit in her room and I would speak to her, but I had no idea who that I was related to them . One day Carolyn Beebe was in the room also, and though she looked familiar, I couldn't place her. Well she saw my name tag, and said "Are you Bill and Brenda's son?" I said "Yes..." And she said (you gotta know Carolyn to appreciate this!) "Well Son of a Gun - Don't you know who this lady is (pointing to Aunt Sis) or her (pointing to Aunt Lamar)?" Kinda uncertain I said "No mam" - And she went about connecting the dots and I was AMAZED. She took me down to the waiting room and I saw Uncle Calvin and my heart almost stopped. It was my GRANDPA, come back to life, fit and healthy!!!
I then got to meet all of these "long lost "relatives!!
Especially exciting to me was sharing my new found faith ( I was saved by God's Grace in August 1997 - So its' never too late!) in Christ Jesus with Uncle Calvin and Aunt Lamar - what wonderful children of God they are!
