I opened the mail today and my Dad sent me an envelope with a cheque inside for $5000...no note or anything.
I talked to him later in the day and he said it was 'just because'. Hmmm...now he does do this every so often, but it's usually because he's sold some property, or lent my brother some money so he's trying to be fair. This was for no reason other than he felt like it. My Dad doesn't have any money worries and has done extremely well for himself.
We'll just tuck the money into the ef for now. It's fully funded back up to 3 months of expenses (and then some), but since I won't be working in the summer and won't be bringing in any money, I'm sure it will come in handy. What a guy my Dad is!
I told Dh that I was taking the cheque, cashing it in, and going on a HUGE spending spree. He didn't even blink--knows me and my frugal ways too well!
I love my Dad!

Ima...it was totally nice of him. He is a super thoughtful and kind person on all levels. I am so proud to have him for my Dad!

My Dad needs help changing lightbulbs, so we leave him completely out of any type of handiwork that needs to be done...safer all around!
