On the Gift I Sent to My Father On Behalf of My Sister

posted on 9 December 2010 | posted in Fashion


I never really thought of using any type of delivery services before until I got an invitation in the mail from my sister that I had not heard from in over 15 years. She was inviting me to a party for our father which I had also not seen in the same amount of time. I could not bring myself to go back home, even for a visit. I decided to use one of the sameday couriers that my job uses to send him a gift at least. I'd used this company in the past to send bridal lingerie to some photo shoots I was working on, so knew they actually could deliver the same day.

My thinking behind the gift was that if they thought enough to at least invite her, she might as well try and heal some wounds by sending him a gift. Letting him know I was at least thinking of him, for once I remembered him as a loving father and not the awful person she made him out to be. It takes a big man to admit he had made mistakes, but since he did, she in turn needs to also try to heal old wounds too. Maybe in time, just not this time.
