I wasn’t going to post in this thread because I didn’t want to be a downer but, after reading the posts by zoo-mon and Sharpscuba talking about the Brotherhood I decided to reconsider. This forum is like a family. Although most of us will never meet or even talk , other than on this site, there is, I feel, a brotherhood of common bond.
My Dad, my HERO, passed away on Dec.8th and was buried last Wed. While I was away attending the funeral my 2 year old granddaughter ended up in Children’s Hospital in Seattle. She was born with some pretty severe birth defects and has a lot of health issues because of it.
Well, she got to come home Dec 23rd so she could be together with the family for Christmas and that was the best gift anybody could ask for.
Yeah, The wife and I got each other some cool HD stuff and, of course, the kids and grand kids all got a ton of goodies, but nothing can come close to being with those we care most about in life.
I think the best gifts one can get are time with the family, old memories shared and new memories made. I got these things and more. Christmas was good and the New Year will be even better with lots of time spent with family and friend and all my brothers and sisters here at HD Talking.
God bless you all
Duffer, First of all let me say I'm sorry for your loss. The gifts I most appreciate from a family member or a close friend, male or female, are a big hug and some time spent together. Material things are just a little added bonus.
