It really is priceless. No matter how much I imagined what it would be like to have children, my imagination never conformed to what it is really like to have children. Sometimes, I can’t believe how childish they are and other times I can’t believe God chose me to be their father.<BR/><BR/>Hi Buz,<BR/><BR/>What a great surprise to have you back commenting. I’ve missed you. I think about you often and I keep your family is in my prayers. My imagination can’t even begin to comprehend what you have been through. The older my girls get, the more heartache I feel for you, but I also know you have done all you can do and the rest is up to God.<BR/><BR/>‘1’ wasn’t considered a prime number on her test. Is there disagreement over whether ‘1’ is a prime number?<BR/><BR/>At this point in time, I have no plans to buy either of my girls a car. However, since you mentioned it and since I started thinking about it, my good day just took a turn for the worse.David M.

Will it be a cute little red Mustang, or will you just go straight for the Porsche (I said "Porsche" because I don't know how to spell "Lamborghini" ... but you get the idea).<BR/><BR/>Oh, by the way, congrats ... you now have the official right to smile until the corners of your mouth touch your ear-lobes, and to boast until the end of the next grading period.<BR/><BR/>BuzAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10512467.post-1142572508370920382006-03-16T21:15:00.000-08:002006-03-16T21:15:00.000-08:00David:A pair of "heelies": $75.

Being a Dad getting to buy them at the umpteenth store at the umpteenth hour as an act of sacrificial modeling for a deserving daughter excelling in math: priceless.<BR/>Derek SimmonsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
