That's a crazy, awesome story! You should drop a note to the pendelton company... "25 year old gift travels forward in time to when the recipient is really ready to receive it."

I'm sure he IS looking down on you and has been cheering you on this whole time. There's a reason that shirt appeared this weekend :-)

Frisco, I found a piece of jewelry in my closet (long story) with a note in my mom's handwriting. It said my grandpa made the necklace. My mom died in 2005.

I totally get how you feel.

Your Dad was cool...."Pendletons" are very hip and all the SF hipsters wear them!

This is a very touching story, thank you for sharing. My grandmother died 25 years ago....she was my best friend in the whole world. Age 15 was when I first started gaining weight...she paid for me to get seaweed 'body wraps' to try to get me to slim down, she paid for me to go to "Diet Center". I wish she could see me now.

I can really relate to your post, Frisco.
