When I was younger, I loved giving gifts, but I had no money. I wanted to give my dad a gift he would really like. So, for a holiday one year (I don't remember if it was Christmas, Father's Day or his birthday), I took his favorite necktie and wrapped it up to give to him. Now, since I didn't want to leave the gift preparation until the last-minute, I took his special green necktie and wrapped it up several weeks before actually giving it to him. So, for that period of time, he kept looking for his favorite tie. Little did he know that his silly daughter had taken it just to give it back to him again.Later on, my brother explained to me you can't give used things back to people as gifts. So, next time... I found a brand new bottle of Tylenol in the medicine cabinet.... Score!

Sweet picture... =) ...funny girl! ;-p
Seriously, thanks for sharing, eu. I'm sure you miss your dad. Praying your Heavenly Father will meet you in a special way as you think of your daddy.
Love,
Bekah
Hey Eu,
That picture was always one that I cherished very much. I always thought you felt so protected from this crazy world while in your dad's arms. Like Rebekah, I really do miss your dad too. I still do think about him very often.
On a lighter note, I wanted to give you props for wishing a happy birthday to "daddies and honorary daddies."
Victor,
Haha. I don't think I wished them a "happy birthday," but thanks for the props. =)
I miss my dad a lot too, but I really can't complain about life. My mom is awesome and, for the most part, my brother is pretty cool too. One day, we will all see my dad in heaven again. And at that time, I won't even need to feel protected in his arms. I can just enjoy hanging out with him. =) Sniff, sniff... look... now you got me all teary-eyed.
I said "Happy Birthday" to a dad too this past Sunday...how weird was that?
Great pic!
Haha. But was it his birthday? =)
Sadly, no. But what does that say when two guys wish dads a "Happy
Birthday" on Father's Day?
That's a great picture. I remember your daddy that way, too. And I remember his yummy char-sui and playing hi-ho cheerio and all kinds of stuff. It was really nice visiting your house the other night. It brought back a lot of fond memories. :)
