Don Wood Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Well, am I a lucky guy or what? My daughter called me a week ago and asked me if I had plans for this Sunday afternoon. I said I didn't. She said, "Well, now you do! My Christmas present to you is to take you on a surprise for the afternoon." Well, I was thrilled that we would be doing something together and pleased that she was getting into the Christmas spirit with her gift. And I was going to get a surprise! Well, she took me downtown to a Christmas concert by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra! The music was fantastic (a blend of orchestra and rock and roll) and the light show was fantastic as well. We both had a good time. And then I treated her to dinner on the way home. It HAS been a good day. Am I blessed or what? Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ann Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Yes, Don, you are very blessed and we are likewise blessed to have you here with us. What a wonderful gift your daughter gave you. There is no gift quite as special for a parent as spending time with their children. You know, I'll just bet Lucie was there with the two of you, enjoying the music and beautiful lights!

DianeR Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Don, You sure are a lucky guy, but I bet your daughter feels equally as lucky to have a great dad like you! What a great surprise that must have been for you. I am so glad the two of you had a wonderful afternoon together. Don, you are blessed, but I think so many have been blessed to know you. I hope your holidays are filled with wonderful family memories. Diane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
