"Every
gift from a friend is a wish for your happiness."
~ Richard Bach
It always
amazes me how some people manage to see through their good intentions. I am especially in awe of the people who
manage to remember, shop and ship. These
people remember birthdays and other occasions, decide on a gift, buy it and
mail it. Admittedly, the Internet has
made shopping and shipping easier, but I still consider it an
accomplishment. In the past couple of
months as my children celebrated various school and personal milestones, they received
gifts that were personally shipped. As
much as the thoughtfulness is appreciated, I think that my children will not
fully understand the kindness that is so generously bestowed on them until they
are busy professionals, spouses and parents trying to deliver on their own good
intentions. For my part, I am grateful
not only for the love of friends, but also for the example they are setting.
