My Step-Brother Twice Removed

I have a step-brother who is the step-son of my step-mother... get the connection? Skip has always introduced my Dad as his step-father twice removed so it just followed my sister, brother and I were introduced as stated above. Skip is eleven years older than me. He has lived in Montoursville, PA most of his married life. After losing his "Mom" in September a month later his wife died. They had celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary a few years ago. Skip came out to visit Dad today. Well, not just Dad. His Grandson graduated from college last week-end and then he visited his daughter and her family who live in Peoria, IL and then came to St. Louis county to visit his son Cliff. Skip and Cliff came to see TigerPlace today. They were impressed. Dad had a good time showing it off. They walked all around the interior and exterior of the building. Dad told them, "Now you understand why I am not homesick for Pennsylvania". His memory loss was quite apparent while they were there today but all in all their visit was good. God is so good. It is great to be able to visit face to face with Dad rather than just talking to him on the telephone.

  1. I am so happy that your father has excepted his new quarters. I sure the visit was good for both of them. I am embrassing the day that I will be able to see my father face to face again. Enjoy your time together.
