Around 2003 my wife had moved out of the house but my 2 kids, in their 20's, were still living at home. I came home from work one night around 11PM. My daughter told me that there was a package for me by the front door. I went and opened the package. It was flowers and a note giving me the senders full name. Oh fuck! How am I going to explain this? It was from my soon to be AFT that lived 300 miles away.
Then it came to me. My mother had passed away 6 months earlier. I told my kids that my union had sent them as a remembrance. 2 days later, I couldn't live with lying to my kids and told my daughter who had sent them. She said dad " She must really like you. These are not from Flowers R Us".
It was a fun 2 years with many more gifts.

sinclair - No. She contacted Multiple Scleroses, had to quit dancing and paramedicing and got married. She was not the one that sent me the flowers. That dancer was before her. I am still wearing the watch that gridget gave me for xmas 3 years ago.

Nice, shadowcat ! I believe you told me that many years ago. Sorry to hear about her MS.

The gift I'll never forget is one time I was going to help out a stripper with her overdue electric bill. When I told her I'd go with her to the electric supplier's payment office to make the payment, rather than just give her cash to pay it, she flipped out, started yelling at me and throwing stuff from her truck at me. I laughed and laughed and drove away.
