yesterday was my daddy's birthday. another year older, and more full of wisecracks... the man that has been the rock of my life and called me possum and possumface since i was a little girl. i can to this day barely contain my laughter when i think of him singing away to me:
possum face she was no good,
so they chopped her up for firewood
because she was no good for that...
they gave her to the old tomcat
it's always so hard to think of something to buy for the man that has everything... but this year i had a brainwave - he & mum are going away this week and i made them a hamper for a picnic. maybe i'll consider that kind of thing more often... it was heaps more fun picking yummy stuff than a boring "dad" present haha. andddd - just for good measure? some electrical tape. only our family would understand.
love you so much daddy! happy birthday ♥ x
and do you know i totally forgot his birthday on the 21st...it is the anniversary of my mothers death as well...i was so frazzled from a "help me mum" dash south to pick up my grand daughter from Hobart to bring her back here for the week so she could pack up her house to move the day before ..how could i have forgotten such and important birthday like Neils????
