"Your mama wanted to take I Want A Word, an English class taught by Dr. Havilah Babcock. She climbed the stairs to his office, tapped on the door. His secretary looked up.
“May I help you?”
“Yes ma’am. I want to sign up for I Want A Word.”
“I'm sorry. That class fills a semester ahead of time,” his secretary said, with a shake of her head.
“Thank you.” Shoulders slumped, she turned to leave.

A gentleman in the adjoining office walked around his desk, leaned against it.
“Just a minute. Where’re you from?”
“Mayesville, South Carolina.”
“Who’s your daddy?”
“Just a minute. Where’re you from?”
“Mayesville, South Carolina.”
“Who’s your daddy?”
She answered, head tilted.
“Sign her up,” he instructed his secretary. "I know her Daddy. Hunt with him. He has good bird dogs.”
“Sign her up,” he instructed his secretary. "I know her Daddy. Hunt with him. He has good bird dogs.”
"So. Mama took his class?" Timmy said.
"Yes and loved every minute of it." Grandfather stared, then caught Timmy's eye. "What would've happened if Dr. Babcock didn't know her father?"
"She couldn't take the class?" Grandfather grinned. "Wait. You're her father."
"Smart fellow. Knew you'd catch up." He smiled.
"Knowing our father's name is important but knowing our Heavenly Father? He is our Father, our Redeemer from Everlasting is His name."
"Wow," Timmy shook his head. "Awesome."
"Awesome, indeed." Grandfather pulled his grandson into a hug.
