"When you a child growing up with grandad and granny Did you really feel like grandad was a father to you?" Absolutely, absolutely. All my daddy's was walking out on them left and right. he never left us, he was always there for us. Y'know there were a lot of that happened I didn't understand. Maybe I might not answered the question the way when I was a teenager, but I understand and him so much more now: as a man. Y'know 'cause he taught me and discipline and consequences for acts. So of course
