A BOX FULL OF KISSES

A story of an young daughters innocent love

Once upon a time, a father punished his 3-year-old daughter for wasting a roll of expensive gold wrapping paper. Money was always tight around the house, and as such, the father became extremely upset when he seen his daughter trying to decorate a box to be put under their Christmas tree.

Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift to her father the next morning and said, “Daddy, This is for you.” The father became embarrassed by his overreaction earlier, yet nonetheless his rage continued again once he saw that the box was completely empty inside.

The father yelled at his daughter,

“Don’t you know that when you give someone a present there is supposed to be something inside it?!”

The little girl looked up teary eyed and said,

“It’s not empty Daddy. I blew kisses into the box. They’re all for you.”

The father was crushed by his daughters response. He put his arms around his little girl and begged her for forgiveness. Only a short time later, an accident took the life of the young girl. Her father kept the gold box by his bed for many many years, and whenever he was discouraged or upset about anything, he would take out an “imaginary kiss” so as to remember the love of his beloved daughter who had put it there.

ALWAYS REMEMBER…

LOVE is the most precious gift in the Universe.
