Kellie Pickler Reunites with Dad
Kellie Pickler returned home this week to Albamarle NC driving a vintage 1968 Mustang according People Magazine’s website. She was greeted by thousands of fans plus a convicted felon: her daddy.
Pickler hadn’t seen her dad, Clyde “Bo” Pickler, in more than three years. He was just released after serving time in Florida State Prison for stabbing a fellow trailer park resident in 2003 and attempting to run down police who were in pursuit of him.
“Throughout my 19 years, I’ve had my ups and downs,” Pickler told the crowd as she shared the stage with her father, reports the Charlotte Observer. “I know a lot of people would think I’d have a lot of resentment toward this person, and I don’t. I feel blessed to have him back into my life.”
She added, “I’ve been prayerful when this person came back to Albemarle, he’d be given a second chance. We all make mistakes and we all learn from them.” To her father, she said, “I love you. And am so glad to have you back in my life.”
He said of Kellie, whom he hugged and lifted off the ground as his eyes welled up with tears: “It’s a God-sent blessing that she’s overcome what she has in her short life and all she’s accomplished, and I’m just extremely proud of what she’s done.” (source)
He went on to say how he would do his best to to not stab any more people in trailer parks, but if he did happen to stab someone he would do his best to make sure it wasn’t in a trailer park, maybe say, the mall or something, and he would try real hard to get away this time, because he wouldn’t want to see Kellie saddened again by his going back to prison.

‘Find the louse’ is a good ole time southern past time. I remember how we would spend long hot summer days drinking iced-tea and preening each other like monkeys. Good times.
