the best Christmas ever for me

It really is.
A year ago me and the wife were ready to divorce over her at that time sorry ass son and his boyfriend living with us and not helping with anything...neither worked...neither would help around the house.I threw a fit and told them both they needed to get it together and moved out...one is 25...the other is 34


A YEAR LATER

The kid just finished his time to get his Pharm tech license ...his boyfriend is working as a financial consultant........between them they should make 100k this coming year.
The kid bought me my sought after albert lee mother of pearl on a white music man guitar
His boyfriend bought me an official leather nfl lions jacket

They both said thank you...My leaving was a wake up call to them.

I'm so proud of BOTH my kids today

them getting it together was the best gift I could ever ask for

The sweet ass guitar and the Lions jacket was ...you know...I'm glad they figured it out

And now I have THREE Albert Lee guitars along with the others
