Most of my gifts are very well thought out, but I don't think it's up to me to decide how special the gift is, it is up to the recipient to decide how special the gift is to he or she.

I have two sweaters my dad used to wear.  They have been mended, had new buttons attached, and been to the dry cleaners.  My dad was an excellent provider for our family....he worked hard, didn't call attention to himself when he was philanthropic, and took care of us unfailingly.  My most memorable time with my dad was on my wedding day when I was in a state of nerves and crying.  He came into my room, asked me what was wrong and patted my shoulder, assuring me everything would be OK.  Doesn't sound like much, but coming from Dad, it was huge.

Two of my sons have children of their own.  It will be my pleasure to give them one of my dad's sweaters to signify they are the quality of man their grandpa was.  Those will be the most special gifts I will give.  Whether or not they will be recognized as such is not for me to say.
