Father's Day 21

Without an ounce of bite to his tongue Baa asks me why did I spend so much money on gifts for him. And when I say it wasn't much, I really mean it. It wasn't much.   Just earlier today, Baa blinked back tears and choked on his words as he asked me for some cash. I told him I'd go grab my purse and be back in a bit still wondering why this sudden question and the emotional outburst. When I came back he said he wanted his father to have something as a gift from me. My grandfather had passed away when I was a child - barely 4/5. I didn't think much of it in the morning. But now I am on my way to work and can't hold back my tears that well as I draft this. Now, to think that my grandfather received a little gift from me through his son... To think that my Baa feels that I am now able enough to honor his father... The confidence that he now has on me, my abilities... God. I may not amount to much. But please let me always be able to keep my parents' confidence on me,...
