About two months ago, my dad's condo in Florida was badly damaged by fire. He's been living in northern Ohio with my sister since the middle of November. All the repairs are complete and he went back to Florida about a week ago. He's slowly getting his place back in order.
He has a neighborhood "tavern" (as he calls it) where he's a regular. I know he missed his friends, and I'm sure he was excited to see them again.
He went back for the first time last weekend, and-- God, I love this-- when he walked in the door, they gave him a standing ovation!
That is just so cool! If I had been there I would have cried, I just know it.
You know what, it made me think of our friend, Scalywag. I'd stand up and applaud if he came back to visit.
