GREAT Surprise!

[LarryC]

Sunday night about 9:00 PM, two of my sons and one DIL visited my home. Kinda of wondered what they were doing out so late, but one of my son's handed me a Henry Silver Boy he just purchased to show me. So great, I admired the rifle and handed it back, then he handed me a Kimber Solo. I had mentioned to both of the boys that I was planning to purchase one. I've been looking at them for several months, but have been helping my best friend out financially, so didn't feel I had the extra money available at the time. I said great looking gun, glad to see you bought one, I'd like to shoot it soon.

Both boys grinned and said, it is YOURS dad. WOW, I was floored. They said they knew I was really wanting one, so had gone together and purchased one for me! I sure have a GREAT family!

You should be very proud and happy to have such great kids! Congrats.

That's awesome. That says a lot about their love and respect for their dad as well! Good job bringing up two fine, young men!

Wow! Great story. Congratulations on the nice gift, but even bigger congratulations on raising two fine men.

My boys are 2 weeks old and 1 year old. How long until they buy me guns?

 

[wizardfitz]

You raised them right.

That is a great family!

Mine is the opposite. My son has actually told me he can't wait until I die and he gets all my guns so he can sell them. What he doesn't know is I left everything to his 2 children.

Adoption papers are in the mail. Tell them how much I LOVE THEM & let them know that I do give Christmas gifts every year to family members. (Something for them to look forward to ) I also have accepted a few too . Purple! Purple! Purple! Really though, congrats on your good fortune!!

The way to a dad's heart is through nice new firearms.
Thumbs up on having such good boys.

Thanks for all the comments, I feel very lucky to have the family I have. I'm not sure what I did to deserve them, but am really proud of them.

In this case, sounds like deserve has everything to do with it. Congrats on the heartwarming gift, but most importantly congrats on being such a fine father! "They" always say that apples don't fall far from the tree (or something like that), and your sons must have had a pretty great role model growing up.

Thanks for posting such a day-brightening story!

Sad indeed. I would see to it that he never laid a hand on one of those guns.

Being appreciated is what it's all about and your boys appreciate you. As the Wizardoffitz said, a job well done.
