Old man needs encouragement...

My father turns 60 tomorrow. It has to be hard... I won't get to see him until summer, and he'll get his present then, but I fugure the least I can do is send him an email. Anyone have any good sayings / quotes?

What I like to hear from my kids as I get older is that I have done good for them and will continue to be a part of their lives.

Since I am a card carrying member of the AARP (American Association of Retired Persons) and have been retired for fifteen years, take it from one on the other side of the fence that just some kind words from you in that email would be well recieved.

from gigi...

"How lovely to sit here in the shade
With none of the woes of man and maid
I'm glad I'm not young anymore

The rivals that don't exist at all
The feeling you're only two feet tall
I'm glad that I'm not young anymore

No more confusion
No morning-after surprise
No self-delusion
That when you're telling those lies
She isn't wise

And even if love comes through the door
The chance that goes on forevermore
Forevermore is shorter than before
Oh, I'm so glad that I'm not young anymore

The tiny remark that tortures you
The fear that your friends won't like her too
I'm glad I'm not young anymore
The longing to end the stale affair
Until you find out she doesn't care
I'm glad that I'm not young anymore

No more frustration
No star-crossed lover am I
No aggravation
Just one reluctant reply
"Lady, goodbye!"

The Fountain of Youth is dull as paint
Methuselah is my patron saint
I've never been so comfortable before
Oh, I'm so glad that I'm not young anymore"

Fire is older than dad,
dirt is older than dad

Is it possible to give him a call?

If he is a internet savvy, does he know how to use skype? If can, dial and chat.

Register and write a blog for him at blogger.com. Maybe you can register 'Ilovemygpdavid@blogspot.com'. Then express your personal thought of him and wishing by writing and then inform him by email to go the site.

Is it possible to make a music delication to radio stations at your side through online?

Thanks all. Good suggestions :)

I'll definitely write him some nice words. I could of course call him, but I'm sure he as a lot of stuff to do. And he's definitely not an internet savvy, in fact I'll probably have to call my sister to check his email for him :)

@fuscia: gigi? Am I completely uncultural now?
