Making My Dad Smile

My Dad has always wanted a golden retriever puppy and he lost his dog over a year ago. So for Father's Day I bought him a puppy. I haven't seen my Dad smile so much in a long time. I hope all you fathers had a nice Father's Day.

Thank you for the day brightener, Secouya. Forgiveness is harder than hard, even after our abusers are dead, but the healing mojo therein is beyond measure. Well done, my healing warrior.

Continued support while you continue working this difficult process.

A smile is worth much more than it costs.

A puppy would even make my late father smile. :-) Glad you could find a way, Secouya.

Yeah, puppies will do it for sure, Secouya, guaranteed. Nice of you to do that for him.
