@Gatopescado , our beloved long time funny wise-cracking king of the online drive-by post Has lost his Mother early today. I’ve talked to him off board for many months and he has been her caretaker, her champion for a long time. I’ve listened to his troubles and woes along the way. I hoped I was helping alittle. I tried. He’ll probably come in here for drive-by directed particularly to my ‘Granny Hawkins’ persona.😊 But, y’all think of him alittle during the next few hard days to come. RIP Mom ((((Hugs)))) Mr. Fish don’t kill me, plz ---
