Love Of a Child
So, I found this Old News Article that my parents kept. I decided to post it on here.<br><br><span style="font-style:italic"> A man punished his four-year old daughter for wasting a roll of gold wrapping paper.<br> Money was tight and he was angry when the child tried to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree.<br> Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift to her father the next morning and said, "This is for you, Daddy."<br> He was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction, but his anger flared again when he found the box was empty. He yelled at her, "Don't you know when you give someone a present, there's supposed to be something inside it?"<br> The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and said, "daddy, it's not empty. I blew kisses in the box, all for you Daddy."<br> The father was crushed. He hugged his little girl, begged her for forgiveness.<br> An accident took the life of the child only a short time later.<br> The man kept the gold box by his bed for years. Whenever he was discouraged, (or coping with that temper of his), he would take out the imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there. </span><br><br>I thought this was incredibly touching, and I almost cried when I read it. I just thought I'd share it with everyone on here.
Thanks for the lovely banner, Nickel
