That was really great moment. Your dad looked so happy. You could tell that had wanted a Rolex for a very long time.

Thanks for sharing.

I just had grape, peach and I wish I could remember the other one shipped up from Kentucky. I think they claimed 130-140 proof. Amazing stuff. It tasted like 60... Some of these guys are master brewers!

Great gesture!

Don't know what the other guy got, but feel kind of sorry for him, and his kids (if they felt that theirs wasn't as great)

The other guy is his older brother he is a CEO of a very successful company. He owns three houses and has a classic car collection that's worth about half a million dollars he was very happy for his younger brother no need to feel sorry for him but thank you for your genuine concern.

Hahaha unfortunately my siblings did get upstaged for life. On the other hand my father loves us all equally regardless of what gifts I can afford vs. what his other kids can afford.
