My favorite gift I haven't received yet, which will be a little yorkie girl and I'm thinking it will be around April when I finally get her.
I have to say my all time favorite gift was last year at Christmas. I have been collecting the Hallmark house ornaments for years and keep them up year round on a ledge that is along side my basement stairs. There were two years that I did not buy one. One was the year my dear dad died. I was so sad and missing him so and could have cared less if Christmas came or went. The other time I didn't buy one was the year we put our son into drug/alcohol treatment about the middle of December. I was so overcome with worry and sadness and that's another year I just didn't have it in me to celebrate Christmas.
I'm happy to say my son has been drug/alcohol free for 5 years and is now a licensed addiction counselor in the same treatment center we put him in, only a different location. So, last year, Tyler (my son) managed to find me the hallmark houses for those two years that I didn't get them. I was so touched by that gift...that he went to the trouble to find them both and there was so much love with that gift that I was truly overwhelmed. I get such a warm feeling every time I think of his gift of love! |
