Your father raised you right - a couple of stand up sons - congrats to you all, sure he’ll treasure that piece forever.

this is a great story. I know personally too many families that have become estranged, so it is extra special to me when things go the other way. Love and respect for your father is beautiful

So thought we can appreciate him with a batman. Though, it can never compare to his love, dedication, and sacrifice for his family.
I initially wanted a Pepsi, but AD was able to pull a Batman for us.



PS: We expect he will scold us when giving him this.


Congrats to your Dad

Thats my preference, but cannot get it in time since he is flying here at the end of month. I will still try to get the BLNR for me.
