The Kindness of a Teenager's Thoughtfulness

"The greatest gift in life is to be remembered."
~ Ken Venturi

One of my favorite teenage girls recently spent several weeks in India with a group from her high school in Australia, where her family presently lives.  Imagine my surprise when we received a package from our friends with gifts that this teenager had bought for each member of my family during the school trip.  She bought me a beautiful scarf and a ring with a fox -- an animal that reminds her mother and me of a song we like.  Each gift was carefully selected and there was a beautiful note explaining what was for whom and why; there was even an individual card for my husband.  I wore the scarf right away and enjoyed looking at it all day -- both for its beauty as well as for the kindness it represents.
