I couldn't count the number of times I've thought about how proud she'd be. Since I'm old enough to be his father, I KNOW I'd be over the moon ... and really wish she'd lived to see it.

Edit:

Athough I corrected it in posts further down after enlarging it, people are still replying to that there...

While those replies bump the thread, my first interpretation isn't what the thread's about...

So the mystery is over.

But, I thought it would be sandals on the Island.

he took the shot. Until he took out that pirate other countries were paying them off. That was when I knew we were safe with him.

... and he's "paying it FORWARD!" (Yes, the double entendre is intentional.)

That's a damned good example for any of us.

This totally gives my uterus the warm fuzzies. I love this picture.

Notice the earring in his right ear. This obviously indicates that he was being groomed for the gay agenda since he was a toddler.

...an earring in the right ear meant you were gay. An earring in the left ear meant you were straight.

Of course, all that silliness was done away with in the 90's when more guys began piercing both ears.

Plumeria's are one of the most common flowers made into leis in Hawaii. I'm convinced that the picture was taken in Hawaii.

I am also struck by how young she seems. Does anyone know how old she was when he was born? My mom was only 19 when I was born.

This must have been part of his early indoctrination to become a crypto-Muslim and impose Sharia law in America.
