whfan74 2,066 #26 Posted February 25, 2012 I am very humbled by all of your comments. I am speechless right now, and if you know me you would understand that is a very hard for thing for me to be. I appreciate all of the great compliments. Like I have mentioned before, this was the most gratifying project I have ever worked on. I do have my faults but I try to be the best dad I can and know that I only have one shot at it. Hopefully this was another step in the right direction. If you get a chance to do this for one of your kids or your grandkids, don't hesitate, just do it. I for one can tell you that you will never regret making that decision. I am looking forward to having her show it to many of you this next year. It will be in PA but she won't make the trip. Thanks again for the support and encouragement, especially since it didn't end up being a red tractor. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
