#52 Stories: Story #13

What are the most memorable and treasured gifts you have received in your life?

The year my dad wrote a poem and hid the pieces to a trampoline was a favorite Christmas memory. It was so unlike my dad...I still don’t know if my mom put him up to it or if he did it all himself, but it was amazing.  I knew that he went to a lot of trouble that year and I have always appreciated that—especially as I have gotten older.

My favorite gift I have given came in Christmas 1994 when Genius Golfer and I gave our parents a special gift...we wrapped up a tiny diaper and used a special poem to tell them that we were expecting Jill.  They were surprised, but thrilled.
