You're reading 'A Million Pieces', aren't you?

I am! And, I love it/hate it. I picked up his new one at the store and put it back down again after carrying it around for a while.

I think it's too close to home. Except I take anethesia.

I read 'My Friend Leonard' as well- both books were hard to read and equally hard to put down. Brutal stuff, but I'm glad I read them.

(Sorry for the derail, Scaeagles!)

Every once in a while something happens that makes you think you've done something right as a parent. And that you have a really great kid.

We had offered to a few people that will be on the trip (they left today) to purchase the dolphin interaction thing from us and let Heather have the money to spend as she chooses - after all, this was her major Christmas present.

On Sunday, she told us she didn't want to sell it. She wanted to give it to a friend whose dad had lost his job a few months ago, since they are hurting for money and she didn't get much for Christmas. So she did.

Of course, now I want to do something even more special for my kid.

oh wow.... YOu did something right SCA

Your daughters generosity of heart will not go unnoticed. Congratulations, and a giant hug to that girl of yours.

That is really touching. It sure sounds like you did something right and that she is a very kind and compassionate person. You should be proud.




Of course, this probably means that she will eventually become a democrat. A republican would have kept the money. :evil:

Thanks for killing my "proud parent" buzz.

Oh shush... don't let him get to you. Keep your buzz....
Her actions speak louder then ANY premonition of what she'll become.

:rolleyes:


Though it does kind of say bleeding heart ;)

Edited to add... yes I knew it was a joke... STILL!!! I'd elbow him for that.

It was a joke, Ponine. I should have put a smilie or something after it.

I can't mojo 'eagles for his good parenting skills
