My father knew what was most important. We should all try to remember that too this time of year.

Thanks for letting me share that story about my father. We all know that he's in a better place but he will be missed.

Merry Christmas!

[bkopto]

Thank you for a very nice story. May God bless you and your family richly.

He held it close to his eyes and felt it in his hands. He kissed it and tears rolled down his cheeks. He then said, "This is for my babydoll."

Now you've done it...that took my breath away and made me cry. God bless you and your family and I hope y'all have the best Christmas possible.

What an amazing man. Thank you for sharing.
My father is no longer here. He took his own life so i go everyday wondering will if i will ever see him again.
Sounds to me like your dad may have taken a no stop elevator to heaven. I pray your grief is tempered by knowing he is no longer in pain but celebrating the birth of our Lord in peace.

What a beautiful story that brought tears to my eyes. God bless you and your family and I hope you will have a Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas to your family as well. This will be my first Christmas without my dad too. We lost him in August. Not feeling so merry.

God Bless you and your family, and may the Lord comfort you in your loss. I know that although your father will not be there in body, he will be sharing Christmas with you all in spirit. Have a very Merry Christmas, and a Happy & Healthy New Year!!

[Lazamataz]

Quit making me cry.

What a touching story. This is what love looks like.

[Ditter]

Very touching story, may your father RIP.

We lost our 18 year old son a month before Christmas in ‘84. Christmas was difficult but we made it through, I am confident that you and your family will make it through too. God Bless you all.

What a wonderful story. May God give all your family the best Christmas you have ever had. I know your mother will treasure your father’s gift of jewelry but most of all treasure the love it represents. Merry Christmas

[stilloftyhenight]

Thank you for sharing. That is so beautiful. Please let us know of her reaction when she opens this very precious gift. Bless you and your family!

[llevrok]

The thoughtfulness of your Dad is, to me, the spirit of what Christmas should be to families.

[Scarlet7]

So sorry for the loss of your Dad but you are very blessed to have had such a loving father. May you and your family treasure the memories of him during this blessed season.

[Robert DeLong]

God bless you and your family, and rest assured that dad is not missing Christmas with you all. He is watching with a smile and full of pride in the terrific family he shared his life on earth with.

Have a very Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year.

[jbwbubba]

God bless you and the family.

[peggybac]

Teary eyes before I go to bed. Thanks for sharing. PLEASE let us know how she reacts. God bless you all.

I am sorry for the loss of your dear father. Men who show so much care, love and respect for their wives are getting fewer and fewer in these times. You can take comfort in knowing that he has arrived in Heaven and is in full joy and peace.

I’ve lost my Grandmother this year, and it certainly does put a damper on Christmas. I remind myself that my Grandmother, who was a true Christian woman, would not WANT to return to earth now that she has the joy of being with Jesus.

I’d love to hear how your Mother is doing after opening her gift. What a lovely thing he did for her.

God Bless you and your family.
