A father put his three year old daughter to bed, told her a story and listened to her prayers – which she ended by saying “God bless Mommy, God bless Daddy, God bless Grandma, and good-bye Grandpa.” The father said, “Why did you say good-bye to Grandpa?” The little girl said, “I don’t know, Daddy,…
