I just did not believe it!
It happened again!
My daughter took me for a meal,
For a meal for my birthday
Into a new restaurant.
I had never been there,
We ate our meal
And it was wonderful,
Possibly the best meal I had eaten
In all my long life.
At the end the Chef came out,
Came to our table
With a cake with a candle on it,
He wished me Happy Birthday,
I thanked him
And told him how great the food was.
It was a wonderful time
With superb food,
But I just did not believe it
As my daughter paid for the meal!
That was the second time
In such a short while
That both my son
And my daughter had paid.
For what more can a Dad ask?
Wonderful times,
With wonderful children.
Thank you does not seem enough,
Seem enough praise for them,
But thank you is all I have.
But I do have something else,
I have my undying love,
My undying love for both of them.

I would say the kids are returning the love you gave to them. It also shows the young in a good light, as we only ever hear the negative about the young.
Very true Paul, mind you that love has always been there between me and my kids.

I have waited a very long time for this and it is wonderful.

I'm remined of the saying , "The apples didn't fall far from this tree". Wonderful children because of a wonderful Dad. 😊
So kind AP, all I did and do is the best I can for them.

And you did a wonderfully great job Andy. Your children are proof of that. 😉
