Sharing Some Pride - Alan R. Mercurio

what a wonderful relationship you and your daughter must have. Ruthe

Alan R. Mercurio_3

Please allow me to share another proud moment in a father’s life.

Let me start by taking you back with me a few years ago. I was in a store with my daughter while looking at some computer software and some games I picked up a copy of a game I’m sure most of you have seen or at least heard of, Flight Simulator. Toni asked me if I was going to buy and I said I’d like to but there were more important things to spend our money on. So I placed it back on the shelf and we proceeded to shop.

Now fast forward to July 2007 a couple weeks ago Toni e-mailed me a wish list from an on-line clothing store with a note that said here’s my wish list for this years school cloths.

The list was short and very conservative several items for less than $200.00 by Gods grace I was able to place the order for the entire list and I made sure they would be shipped to Toni where she lives with her Mom.

I then replied to her e-mail saying “your wish has been granted love Dad” of course you know that night I got the, I love you Daddy thank you phone call we chatted for a while and then said our love you’s and good night.

Fast forward again to today July 23, 2007 I come home and find a package in the mail from Toni to Dad. Open the box and there it is a short note that says Thanks for my school cloths I love you Dad and I hope you still wanted this game. You guessed it my daughter got me that flight simulator game from a couple years ago.

Thank You Lord for this little girl now a young lady that you have blessed me with.

And I thank all of you my friends here on The Wall for letting me share this with you.

Ken, Toni’s pursuing a career in the medical field so I figure the Cessna is about 10 yrs from now

Nice story. I, too love being the Daddy to my little Daddy's girl. Little McKenna is now 12 going on 20 and a handful but there is none like her. Thanks for sharing, my friend.

Pinball

You have done well grasshopper


Alan I know the feeling. Traci will be 20 in Oct. Does'nt Time fly?!Especially now that they're at the age where they can be your friend. Not just a child. I am dreading the day I have to give her away. I already know I'll be a wreck! Any comments Dan?

Hey listen...Ya know that little Italian Place in Glasco?
Bring Toni along on a mon. or Tues. and They can meet, as well as the dinner, that the two dads, have been planning, for almost a year now

DanHolohan

I didn't give them away, Al.

I just agreed to share them. ;-)

And I'll tell you something. To dance with your little girl at her wedding is to be totally alone with her on the planet for a precious bit of time.

I will smile forever.

Alan R. Mercurio_3

Thanks Al, I appreciate the kind words brother. Right now Toni’s in PA with her Mom but we are trying to put together a couple visits here to NY.

With the move to our new facility in Saugerties stopping at that delightful little restaurant on the way home will be very doable any night of the week

Talk with you soon Bro.

Thanks Steve. And believe me I’ll never forget the times you listen to me when I needed a fellow dad to talk with and the kind advice you would offer. You were always on the money. Bless you dude.

Love you too my friend.

one day

Funny how none of our children came with instructions :-)

in the near and distant future, I hope you and Toni can break bread with my three kids and me... that would be, as they say in new england, wicked cool!

And to think...

I "bought" her her first "Shirley Temple" at NAOHSM...She's a sweetheart, Alan!

Dave Yates (GrandPAH)_1

speaking of NAOHSM

She was quite the mature young lady and accepted many adult responsibilities with a mirror-image of her Dad's smile.
