The gift of giving
The gift of giving
From Lois Alexander:
I recently lost a friend to cancer that I have known for over 20 years.
When I first met her 20 years ago, she was wearing a beautiful necklace. When I commented on how beautiful it was, she said, "When I die, I will leave it for you."
Twenty years later she passed away. I went to the visitation and her husband called me aside and said, "I have something for you." Apparently, the night before this wonderful person died (she knew she did not have long to live), she told her husband to go upstairs and put the necklace in a box and be sure to give it to me. Not only did this person remember this from 20 years ago, but also, here was a man who had just lost his wife of over 30 years and he remembered to bring it to the funeral home. What an amazing couple. This is kindness beyond belief.
