Default I Gave Away My Dream

Spent the afternoon with my Grandkids yesterday and showed my new phone to my son - he was loving it and before I left, I took out my sim card and gave him the phone. I have a great kid - he's an adult now with kids of his own, a big mortgage, a stressful job and a high maintenence wife [I adore her, and she is worth every penny he spends on her.] .. It's rare that I see him giving himself expensive gifts. He does everything for his family and it reminds me a lot of my father .. besides, I love giving presents to him. When he was growing up I was a single parent and sometimes I couldn't give him what he wanted - Now I can.

Nope... his son has a new toy...

He has the joy of seeing a smile on his face... There are some things that money can't buy...for everything else, there's

Joking aside though... That was awesome of you!
