Happy freakin' birthday

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.

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.

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

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.
