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.
One time a stripper sent SJG a restraining order.
