Just a Quote for Friday

My sweet father-in-law on his 80th birthday last weekend
{what Doug will look like in 30 years}

A quote that reminds me of him:

“The best thing to give to your enemy is forgiveness; to an opponent, tolerance; to a friend, your heart; to your child, a good example; to a father, deference; to your mother, conduct that will make her proud of you; to yourself, respect; to all men, charity."
Benjamin Franklin

Great quote and what a handsome man! Doug clearly has nothing to fear from getting older.

I heard that quote at Christmas time as "the best GIFT to give..." Wonder if it was adapted?

Doug clearly already looks like his dad - a younger version with less wrinkles - what a handsome guy! (You can take that to mean either or both of them!)
