Mission accomplished, the girls are back having delivered all the gifts and picked up a pizza for my daughter as a reward for her hard work.
The responses by text have been lighting up their phones and everyone is truly enjoying the gifts.
One in particular stands out. My daughter’s friend Hanna has been struggling with mental health and depression issues all year after the death of her dad. When she received the gift box, she was bubbbly happy for probably the first time in a year. Her Mom called my wife in tears thanking her and my daughter for the greatest gift of all...seeing her daughter happy again.
Yep, it’s the thought that counts and the true gift is love...
