    Yep that's right and it was cash....and I took him to dinner too....what a blast. My son has been a real pain in the @ss for years, but I love him to death and know that tons of his problems were JW related. I am a recent fade remember and was a little worried dubs would be at the place when the wait staff sang Happy Birthday and all.

    The money thing...you will LOVE this. I know he has been having a hard time money wise, but he never hits me up. His ride sucks too. He did not cry but was soooo excited as he had no clue what I was going to do.....Lets remember how much cash/stuff he would have had over the years with xmas and birthday presents. He tells me one of his roomates has moved out of this incredible huge old house they rent, and he has to sign a new lease and put $900.00 down on the place, which his landlord had already said he could pay over three months..............So you know what this means of course....... that's right... HOLY SPIRIT AT WORK!!!!............................................oompa

    Thanks Guys!!! Especially kw13 who sees this from the kids perspective and hopefully knows that I was not tooting my own horn as lots of kids get SOOOOOOO much more from all their rich family and friends. But I wanted to share how great it was to do this FOR THE FIRST FRIKKIN TIME in my life! I feel like I have sooooooooo much to make up for..................oompa

    Yeaaaaa Oompa!

    You did good, no matter how the kid spends it.

    My mother a diehard JW, just did something similar for one of her grandsons. (I've got to give her credit for this).....he needed a new vehicle, we as parents contributed what you did but that was the max we could afford.

    My mother concluded that they could get the money after she died or use part of it now for good use. So she gave my son $5,000.00 towards a vehicle.

    It is so important that we help our kids in this day and age. Its not the same as when we were growing up.

    Again, good job oompa....what a great dad you are!
