Richard Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 My 29 yr old son and his girlfriend came to visit this weekend (drove up from Brixton). We had a great weekend, but I had to put the living room back together while they were here as we had been decorating it. I had to put the curtain rails back up - and curtain rails are my bete noir; they will never do as they are told and are always fiddly. So I got a bit ratty. Then afterwards, when I was sat down with a cup of tea (a bit cold 'cos I hadn't finished the tea cozy) he gave me a card that they had obviously brought up with them. Outside it had a line drawing of a chicken flying to the sun, and it said; GETTING OLDER May each year be a feather on the glorious Chicken of Life as it soars UNTAMED and BEAUTIFUL towards the golden Sun. Inside he had written; Dear Dad, Happy Chicken Day. I've got a lovely son and am very lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
