"The only gift is a portion of thyself." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
It was your father's 50th birthday. Robert, you had given your father the crowning gift. It was a framed list of "50 things you learned/got from your dad". When he read the title of the list, he immediately began to weep. By number 5, he was blubbering mess! I don't think there was a dry eye at the table, that day. Things on the list varied from humorous lines like "You taught me that I could be anything in the world other than be as good looking as you." to sensitive lines like"When I was little you were my playground as you are now for Mac". I suppose it would be safe to add that the 51st thing you learned from your dad was how to give a stellar gift!
