A Box Full Of Kisses

Last Christmas, I read an article about a cute little 3-year old girl who is trying to give her father a Christmas present & .. The story goes that the father punished the girl for wasting a roll of colourful wrapping paper. Money was tight & he became infuriated when the child tried to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree. Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift to her father & said: This is for you, Daddy! The man was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction, but his anger flared again when he found out the box was empty. He yelled at the little girl, stating, " Don't you know, when you gave someone a present, there is suppose to be something inside?" The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes & cried, " Oh, Daddy, It's not empty at all. I blew kisses into the box. They are all for you, Daddy. " The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little girl & begged for her forgiveness. Only a short time later, an accident took the child's life. Is is also told that her father kept that colourful box by his bed for many years & whenever his was discouraged, he would take out an imaginary kiss & remember the love of the child who had put it there..
