My Dad, aka Poppy, is officially retired.
I cannot think of anyone who deserves it more.

He has been a rock for me this last year, all the while putting in ridiculous hours (with no O/T as he is management) at a supplier for the Big 3.

He is a good guy. He is also free to help me move! ...but then he comes back up here. :(

But, I'm not going to think about that right now...for now, I'm just glad he got out.

Cheers to you Poppy... I love you.

1. Congrats to Poppy!!!
You're a lucky woman, Mrs. G. From what you've posted about him, he's the salt of the earth.

:hug:

2. There are some who would think I am over the top with saying this...
But he has been the person who has kept me functioning lately. :hug:

3. I believe he helped. But you kept you functioning.
Your drive and your love for your babies as well as your devotion to Leonard.

You are an inspiration, sweetie. Seriously. I know you didn't apply for the job, but you got it anyway.

7. I hope he does.
It's the one of the more sad things about moving.
