		<description><![CDATA[A few years ago, my wife and I started a tradition to purchase Christmas gifts for each other that cost no more than $35 and must begin with a particular letter of alphabet. In 2008, the letter was D. As a joke, I told my wife that dog begins with D.

It&#8217;s over. We have been together for over 30 years now, but I just can&#8217;t take it anymore.

The past [...]]]></description>

I can fully relate to this quote. Dads aren&#8217;t usually the recipients of top-notch presents. I can&#8217;t complain too much though because my kids&#8217; budgets limited them to dollar store Christmas shopping.
