Yup.... the Frisco shed a tear(s)

So...... tough azz slim posted about having kids over and building gingerbread houses......

Here is my Xmas story.......

Yesterday I was going through some boxes that were in storage and ran across some clothes.......95% went to Goodwill......

Than I ran across this shirt.... I've been shopping for a flannel shirt but most I've seen are very janky...... I like a firmer flannel that keeps a little shape...... and I hate shirts with a "button placket".... ya know that row around the buttons that gets floppy and folded over....

Anyway..... the color was perfect....... and here is the bonus..... it's a "Pendleton".... and get this.... "Made in USA"....... Size L..... a little big..... but I can wear it as an over shirt.....

Than I tried to think where this shirt came from???? I don't remember buying it....... even in a few brief skinnier times......

I remembered...... my dad gave it to me for Xmas one year in like 89-90-91 or 92........it was obviously to small and it got boxed and stored.......

Now the tear(s)......... My dad past in 1999........and here we are in Xmas season 2013 and I uncover this Xmas present from my dad (weird right?)........

My dad was always worried about my weight and the many many many things he tried to get me to do....... guess what.... I had to pay a doctor to tell me the same ****

I wish my dad could see me now.....

Wear your gift from your dad in good health.  :)

Wow... that made me shed a tear too. Congrats to you and thank you for being such an inspiration to everyone here.!

I bet that gray flannel shirt had a lot more meaning this time around.

Don't you think your dad is looking down on you now being all proud?  Of course he is.

Another reason for all of us to not take this special gift for granted. 

You may have paid a great surgeon to tell you the same **** but you are livin' it ... the life your dad wanted you to live.

Merry Christmas!

I believe he see's you everyday.  Look up to Heaven and wish him a Merry Christmas.

That is a beautiful shirt in so many ways!  It's a sign that your dad does see you now and I'm sure he's quite proud.  Congrats on the find and on all of your successes.

Thanks for my afternoon cry!  Merry Xmas, Frisco.  I know your dad would be so proud of you!!

Ahhhh......Dad is still looking out for you from heaven!
