My daughter gave the sweetest joyful gift, and I want to share the joy. Short on funds and time, she googled best gift ever, and formulated the following:
One certificate gave each of us Permission to be Happy. She informed each of us that we had permission to be happy. Funny how that simple phrase made me laugh and realize a gift I had all along without realizing. The next page explained the best gift is a hug, and she gave each of us a hug. The third gift was a gift of her time. That commodity we hold so tightly and she gave so freely. With ten members in our family, it was no small gift:
It was a sweet experience to see each child give to their brothers and sisters something that symbolized their love and illustrate they had thought about that person, their wants, and needs. Bless each one for their kind examples. And bless Amanda! Thanks for showing us that so often the best gifts are those of self.
