GOLD MEDAL DAD

submitted by: Alicia

My husband was in the opening ceremony at the Olympics last year.  The local newspaper had a picture that he happened to be in (although it was small!).  I called up the newspaper and asked if they could enlarge the photo of him and send it to me before Father’s Day.  They obliged (of course they would, it cost $50!) and said they would have it on the way.  They actually sent 2 pictures because they weren’t sure if I wanted the whole thing enlarged or just the portion with my husband on it.  I took them both and had them matted and framed and at the bottom had a small plaque made that said:
“2001 Olympic Opening Ceremonies”
“1st Place”
“GOLD MEDAL DAD”

I hung it in place of his favorite picture over the fireplace.  He came home and saw it that evening and loved it!
