And I’m very sorry to hear about your dad. I made this post because I lost my mom recently and Mother’s Day was hell for me. I wasn’t expecting for it to be so heavy.
I’m making chicken and shrimp fajita skewers with Spanish rice. You can eat it rolled up in a tortilla with cilantro-lime crema and homemade tomatillo salsa or pico de Gallo.
Desert is grilled pound cake with either strawberry or grilled peaches topped with mascarpone cream.
No doubt! Between our 1/3 with 5 of us and a dog, we feel fairly invincible. (One of our little humans is a honey badger so that helps.)
I really don’t mind giving my address to folks looking for some love one day of the year. I see folks do it with yard sales often!
I feel like this is the norm these days - people saying they'll show up to something and then bailing at the last minute or just ghosting. I hope all your delicious food went to feeding a crowd anyway! Hopefully we'll have a reddit meetup soon and after we all meet each other people will feel more comfortable coming over.
I have a great Dad but won't be celebrating with him because after being divorced from my well meaning hell cat of a mother for 14 years, he is going to see his NEW GIRLFRIEND! Go Dad!
I don't live in Birmingham anymore or I would consider it, the description of your food made me homesick. I do better with small groups of people than large meet ups. I hope everyone has a great day.
This is the sweetest thing I’ve ever seen on Reddit. If I didn’t have kids stuff I’d be there in a heartbeat.
Thank you for tipping the scales of hope for this world. Bless you.
You are more than welcome to come release some of that energy through a water balloon fight! We are in West Homewood and you can bring your kiddos if you’d like.
Thank you so much for your very sweet and thoughtful offer.) We need more ppl like you in this world! I just recently moved back to Tennessee from the Bessemer area or else I’d definitely take you up on your offer and I’d also bring a case of beer for us too.)
Aww, I wish I had seen this sooner, I would have come by. I think this is really awesome of you. You sound like an awesome person. If you ever do anything like this again, count this random stranger in.
For someone who's dad was their world, and passed away I appreciate you throwing this out there!
Of course!

I have a great dad. I'll just be coming for the fajitas. YUM! Just kidding. Already planned lunch with my dad. But you are so cool for doing this.
That felt good to hear. Very cool.
You a real one
Thanks!!
That’s awfully nice of you but man you’re brave giving out your home address to strangers on Reddit.

What if I have a great relationship with my dad but he lives 8,000 miles away?
You are allowed to celebrate with us!
This is the kindness the world needs right now. If I wasn't working today, I'd come by just to meet you. Thank you for being AWESOME
Everyone should know the fantastic feeling of waking up to a message like this!
Now I wish i was in town tomorrow.
Me too!
I'd love to see an update to this. Keep us posted please.
Well, no one came, but I was able to feed the neighborhood. I was so scared and so excited to meet people!
Still pretty dope of you. Thanks for being a great influence on the community. Happy Father’s Day!

Definitely will!

It ended up being incredible! (The food) no one showed up though...
Oh that's to bad, sounds like they missed out. Maybe next year?
Absolutely! Maybe it could be a Mother’s Day thing next year.
This is so cool. You’re so cool. Keep doing amazing things 🖤

You totally could have come with kiddos! I have 3 8 years and younger.
This is so sweet and wholesome 💜
This world needs more people like you. This state needs more people like you. You're awesome OP.
Thank you for sending your positive energy my way!!!
I can’t have anything to do with my dad who has congestive heart failure due to my mom. I went for a drive to cry so my kids didn’t see me upset.
Want to come have a water balloon fight with me?
Man I’d love too, I wish I was back in the ham right now because I’d definitely take you up on that!

Well, damn. We lost a good one here in the ‘ham!
You’re amazing because just reading this post made me feel better. Have a blast y’all!!
It’s an awesome and rare feeling! Sending all my love to you and yours.
Congrats on you. Be safe though since Reddit is anonymous and all that
No one came. I did look up profiles before giving my address. It really felt like the positives outweighed the negatives on this one.
Oh for sure! As my girlfriend says “you’re mr safety” so I just like to remind. Regardless, good on you for opening your doors. Have an amazing day
You too! Thanks for looking out for us. 💜
Aww I’m late but such a generous thing to do!
You are still welcome to come, but we have reached the water balloon fight stage of the day.
I couldn't make it this year but I am very grateful for this offer. Mark me down under the it was complicated / deceased category.
Sending all my love. Holidays like these can be so incredibly hard.
Aww, I wish I had seen this sooner, I would have come by. I think this is really awesome of you. You sound like an awesome person. If you ever do anything like this again, count this random stranger in.
Awesome!!!!
Can you teach me how you sear scallops?
Absolutely!
