BigBear57---Congratulations.It's true that your priorities,in life,change.My
daughters are 34 & 36 now,but as a doorstop,I still have,that says---
"Anyone can be a father,but it takes someone special,to be a Daddy!"One of
my daughters gave it to me,years ago,& it is still special to me.I also,keep a
note,that my youngest daughter gave me,a few years ago,after a particularly
rough time in her life!(Divorce,Youngest son's Autism diagnosis,etc)It says-
No matter how bad life gets,I can always depend on you & Ma!You'd be
suprised at how these things,mean so much to you! Irish

Very sweet, BigBear! It sounds like it's going to be a great day!

Having 2 daughters of my own I know how special and wonderful they can be!! Cherish every moment you spend together.

Happy Sweet 16 to the little bear cub!! And congrats to Daddy bear on the close bond you have with her. Have a great day!

On her 18th birthday you can give her a password for Pixies.

I hope she has the most wonderful and memorable 16th birthday ever. You two are very lucky to have each other and share such a close relationship. I have come to realize that there are some pretty wonderful parents floating around Pixies.

a very happy b-day to your daughter and a very big hug for a wonderful dad

Hey Y'all, thanks so much for the well wishes and warnings too. We just got back and had a great time. She finally got to try The Olive Garden and managed to pick up a few "extras" too. Irish, because I know she'll be a legal driver soon I got her a cellphone. She's a pretty good driver but I feel better knowing she's just a few numbers from telling me when something's wrong. She's already got a car, her Mom got a deal on a used Toyota so she's set the be free....I guess that's what's made me sorta sentimental about this birthday. She'll have more to do elsewhere and I might not see as much of my baby. Like I said earlier though. I'm proud of who she is and trust that she knows how to act. <sigh> Just another milestone, but she's still my baby.

Congrats, and I am glad to hear that the 2 of you shared such a wonderfully special day together.

BigBear57---The cell phone is a good idea.I always told,my wife & daughters,
that it wasn't their driving that worried me,it was the other persons!At least with the phone,they can tell you that they're alright.I found MANY times,that
a cell phone is worth it's weight in Gold! Irish

Hugs
