Grandma McKinnon

My grandma was a legend. She really was. She taught me so much about life and love. She would always say, "You can never run low on love. The more people you love - the more it grows. " In my old age of 25, I've found that to be true.

Grandma Thelma would also teach a lot through song. For example, if anyone was ever having a hard time with the men in their life, she would break into song and sing...

"Hug him in the morning, kiss him every night.
Give him plenty loving treat him right.
'Cause a good man now days, is hard to find. "

As I was searching for all the words to this song, I found the rest of the lyrics to be rather interesting...it has a little bit of a different twist to it.

A Good Man by Brenda Lee

A good man is hard to find
You always get the other kind
Just when you think that he's your pal
You look for him and find him fooling around some other gal.

Then you rave you even pray
To see him laying in his grave.

So if your man is nice you better take my advice
Hug him in the morning, kiss him every night
Give him plenty loving treat him right
'Cause a good man now days, is hard to find.

A good man is hard to find
You always get the other kind
Just when you think that he's your pal
You look for him and find him fooling around some other gal.

So if your man is nice you better take my advice
Hug him in the morning, kiss him every night
Give him plenty loving treat him right.
'Cause a good man now days, is hard to find...
