H called tonight. His Dad died a few years back, and I knew him for about 10 years. He was in a war (no jokes kids, but I dont know which one! LoL) and survived the bombing of this ship, and only 50 servicemen survived. Anyways, H's family is not all that close (even though there are SIX kids), and this is the first year NO ONE got together (even w/me prodding them to have a family celebration). It was very sad for me for H, even though he claimed not to care.
So, anyways, I did the research online of the boat that his Dad was on, and survived, and put together a 100 pic collage of them boarding and blessing the ship, pics of them working aboard the ship, the bombing, the after affects, and some reunion pics of the survivors. I also found pics online of his Dad, named specifically. I also printed each of he pics, and put them in a photo album.
I sent the collage and photo albums to his two sisters and a brother. (only ones he talks to...). When I presented to H, he looked at it, but wasn't over the top excited to see it, but...
Tonight he called. His oldest sister called... in tears. LOVED it. Couldn't believe "we " found all of this.
All of a sudden he's interested in the gift I gave him/them!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr and Niiiiiice!

The average woman would rather have beauty than brains, because the average man can see better than he can think.
