My dad is the man who has everything. He is in his late 70’s and has 5 kids. There is literally nothing he needs. So I tied a bow on my son, and attached a tag that said “redeemable for one day’s labor.” Jamie was up for it (he loves his grandfather, though he HATED the bow!) and my dad absolutely loved it. I think too that the gift of time with his youngest grandson will be a gift for Jamie as well. These two are crazy about each other, but rarely get one on one time.
I also gave him pictures I had taken of him with most of his grandchildren over the last 2 months, and he loved those too.
We spent a few hours with dad, and then came back here and relaxed away the rest of the day. The men in my life were happy, so it was a good day.
Have a great week, my friends!
Best,
Stephanie
I completely agree! Seeing kind people smiling, and making them happy is the most important in life!
