An amazing gift..

**Nomilynn** · 09-04-2003, 11:47 AM

I called my dad last night sort of in a panic. I am really having problems with money right now, and I have to go to Bothell, WA this weekend and I had no way to pay for it. It's not something I can really cancel.. anyway, I started crying (I didn't mean to.. I didn't want to worry him) and I asked if he could send me a little bit of money to hold me over until payday. We got to talking and I said I was still trying to get Bassett's clinic bill paid off; I had over $1100 to pay before the end of the month. So, when he called this morning to let me know he had wired some money to me, he also told me he paid off the bill at Bassett's clinic!! I started crying right then and he told me not to worry.

I swear I have the best dad in the world

Then he asked me to tell Bassett right away so I did

and she responded by sniffing Nutmeg's butt.. not sure what that means....

OMG that's great news! I'm so happy for you, your dad sounds awsome!

Wow, what a wonderful gift. Your Dad sounds like the best.

Fathers (and mothers) are wonderful, Naomi. Yours ranks right at the top!!!

I know he gets more pleasure out of being able to help you than you can realize. I know that on more than one occassion, my parents helped me immensely, as I was gettting back on my feet after my divorce. They told me to consider them "my husband" since I didn't have one!

I now know, from being a parent, that there is little that I wouldn't do to help my kids, financially or otherwise, if I am able. You'll remember this kindness when you have children of your own (skin kids, I mean).

Naomi,
That brought tears to my eyes. How wonderfully sweet of your father.

**moosmom** · 09-04-2003, 12:43 PM

Naomi,

How special your Dad is!!

My Dad was the same way. When I read your post it made me cry. My father has been gone for 6 years and I miss him SO much! We were the best of pals the last 3 years of his life as I was his sole caregiver during that time. He gave so unselfishly. Got my car outta hock when it was repossessed cuz I was unemployed. He also paid off my child support when my daughter turned 18 (over $2,000) because I was again unemployed and my ex was being a real "Richard Cranium".

Cherish him, Naomi. Life is so short. Ya think your Dad will adopt me????

Always there with a word or a deed...that's wonderful!!!

This struck me as hysterical. I laughed out loud. I guess I wasn't expecting to read this after reading about how great your dad is. Anywhoo, sounds like you have a wonderful dad.

Great news! My Dad would have done the same thing if he was still alive.

Gee, I miss him ** sniff **!!

Thanks everyone. I will send him the link to this page, so he can know just how much I appreciate him

Oh Naomi I am so happy for you. You had a burden lifted off your shoulders by an angel called "Dad"

Give your dad a hug and a kiss from all of us.

Lets hear it guys, three cheers for Naomi's dad.

HIP HIP HOORAY

What a blessing in disguise.

Tears of joy. My dad too has helped me immensely (provided the full 20 % down payment on my house) but I do not believe that he would be as sympathetic if the cause were my kitties. You are very lucky, indeed.
(thanks Dad)
