This is a good man.

As all you know dad loves to fish and saves carefully to finance his fishing trips. The winter has been long and I decided that our bedroom needed a face lift. I painted the top half of the room a color called Asian Jute, Ellen Kanada helped me choose the color, and she really does have a good eye.. Dad has gotten use to it. Next came the call for curtains, which dad really doesn't like, but.... Not having a real talent for decorating, this has been a real stretch for me to find something I like, that I think will look good etc. Dad has patiently nodded yes and no to lots of different options. I finally decided what I wanted and figuring out how to pay for it.. So back to the fishing savings account. A few nights ago we were laying in bed and dad got up opened the "secret place" and gave me the money I needed for my curtains and rods, he is amazing!!!! There again if you know your dad as well as I think you do, you understand how much he must really like me. You may not call that romantic but in my book , WOW. He really does just want me to be happy.
