Yesterday was my 30th birthday and my dad got me a card. He passed away in 1999.

That's brought tears to my eyes, OP. My dad and I never talk about emotion stuff, can't even say I love you even though we both know we do, if you know what I mean. Anyway, my dad was over last week for my father-in-laws funeral - at the funeral I gave a eulogy for my FIL. My dad never said anything to me about it while he was here. I gave a eulogy for my grandfather (his dad) a few years ago too, and he never said anything to me about that either, but I knew he really appreciated it. Anyway, he went back home on Saturday. Today is my birthday and he sent me this email this morning:

Good morning (me), happy birthday.
