50 years

My dad turned 50 years old yesterday! We had a great party! We received some pretty unforgettable presents:
*My fiancé bought him two 3D paintings. One is Starry Night by Van Gogh (which, if I had to chose, is my favorite), and the other is a painting of Central Park, and depending which angle you view it from, the season of the painting is different! They are amazing!
*I had prepared his favorite Armenian song for him, "Dle Yaman," which is a beautiful old Armenian poem turned song. He was so moved he started crying and asked me to sing it 3 more times! By the third time, I had the neighbors from the apartments building next door standing outside our windows listening and asking me to keep singing it over and over. It was such an honor.
*And from my mom, sister and I, we threw a few dollars together and bought him an iPad! We all have gadgets except for my dad and he love electronics! We figured since you only turn 50 once, he deserved his own little toy so he can get rid of that laptop he doesn't like much anymore.
