The best surprise a man can get!

My eldest son called me Friday afternoon saying FEDEX was bringing a package Saturday that took adult signature. So, I stayed home, weed whacked, mowed, cleaned the garage, cleaned yard stuff up and made sure I was available at the time he estimated the package would arrive.
As 4:00 rolled around, it was tempting to call him for a tracking number but I waited, watching a Amazon movie. I heard a horn blaring in my drive around 4:15. Thinking WTH is that idiot FEDEX driver doing I rushed to the back door.
In the drive sat my son with his wife Mali pulling their camper!!!
I had to cancel a trip scheduled for this week to Seattle to visit them due to China Virus restrictions. They drove across the nation to visit the old man. I had tears of pure joy as I hugged them both. It is AWESOME to have them here, they can't stay long but we will have a ball until the sad time they must leave.
He made home made tacos for dinner last night and they were fantastic. Today will be a full day with flying on the agenda along with lots of chatter and laughter. I am ecstatic over their arrival, having your grown children show up as a surprise is a wonderful feeling.

Nice surprise Bruce.
I am pleased when my youngest shows up, the other three not so much.
I have to disagree with your title....the best surprise a man can get is when his only grown child shows up with his 3 grandsons!
But I fully understand your feelings.
Not the Best Surprise that I ever Got !!!
But : Thats All You !!!
Great Deal for You !!!
Thanks !!!
I Grew Old Too Fast (And Smart Too damn Slow !!!) !!!
That is great, nothing better than family. We are blessed my son and his family live about 15 minutes from us and my daughter and her fiancés home is even closer than that.
