Wonderful story, Jim. I can't believe he would go out and buy a whole suit, just to protect your feelings. That's. . . amazing. . .
I once bought my dad a pair of bright-red socks for Christmas (I wanna say that I was a bit younger than you were here; at least, I hope I was. . .) And doggone if he didn't wear those stupid socks every Christmas from then until well after I was out of college. . .
Thank you for highlighting your Dad this way. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteA good future Christmas story is better than any present, it is the gift that keeps on giving for generations.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely story. Yes, I see the humor, but under it I see how much the boy you were was loved.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas, Jim.
