My very generous Dad made my day!

[mhlatke]

For a while, my dad and I were talking about possibly biting the bullet and splitting a 30 count humidor of LGC de EPC Serie R Limitada 2006 cigars. Nothing much came of it and then he calls me to say he just went and bought it - but he won't split it with me. Instead, he gives me six of the cigars and the absolutely beautiful custom italian humidor that come with the cigars.

This is a fantastic piece - high gloss, thick heavy wood, three spanish cedar drawers w/brass fitings - in a nutshell, "the works".

Now I know he's 'family' but it is still amazing generosity. All my life he has been there for me and would do absolutely anything for me (as most fathers would). But it goes beyond that. He's there for everyone. I have never known him not to lend a hand to anyone in need. For years he has done charity work for MDA (Muscular Dystrophy Association) and is always there for his fraternal organizations. Since retiring, he even started doing pseudo non-profit catering for many of their functions prepping meals for as many as 100+ people. His feet and back may hurt but he takes it all in stride to help his fellow man.

And it's with that spirit that I approach this community we have here. I may not have the time (or drive) to come home after work and attend meetings at a local organization but I can share in that same fraternal feeling here and will always be there to help any brother in need.

Well enough of the 'mushy' stuff. I just wanted to tout my old man a bit and share some pics. Enjoy - Mike

What agreat looking humi. I wonder what it would take for my dad to give me something like that

[Pendaboot-cl]

Wow! What a great gift. Is your father ready to adopt another kid? Someone older and very very appreciative?

[sofaman]

WOW thats a realy unique humidor with 6 great smokes. Your dad sounds like a great guy.

[smokem-cl]

You know, the smokes and the humi are nice, but the best part is they came from your dad. That, in and of it's self, is awesome! He gave to you something to hold onto long after the cigars are gone. A memory. Something you will always care with you.

Like father like son... You may not believe it no but you reflect your dad more than you may realize/believe.

I always wanted to be like my dad, he only has one arm and is the most kin, patient and considerate person as well as a giving man too. Now I don't feel I am any where ear him in attributes now that I am a trainer at my work, I get comments about having patience and being a giving person... I don't see it...
