Like, woah.
Just when ya think life can't throw you any more surprises...it does. :)
I grabbed the mail on our way out to the bank/ski this afternoon. One piece was an xmas card, and by the writing I thought it was from my Grandma.
Wrong.
It was a nice card, one of those with heart felt sentiment on the cover so I assumed it was from my Grandma until a check fell out when I opened it...as she doesn't do checks anymore. Not only was the card clearly hand-picked, in it was a check, 'for the family or you can split it 5 ways- whichever you prefer' ...Love, Dad.
The kids were all excited, wanting to go home and make a thank you card...while I was trying to pick my chin up off the car floor. This is a card from a man who has not sent me a card in probably close to 20 years and when he did send them they CERTIANLY were not early, they usually came fed-ex'd on xmas eve...
Wow.
Actions, baby....they are SO loud.
I am genuinely grateful for his thoughtfulness. I will tell him so on Xmas when I talk with him and my grandma. He certianly did NOT have to do that, and unlike when I was younger and his gifts were more like a 'pay-off', I know this is because he wants to do something nice for me and my family. Period. No strings attatched. And let me tell you...that feels pretty nice.
I am going to go take a bath and feel all...nice. :)
