iris-talk:OT So True

Maize

Season's GreetingsI received this from a good friend who had a choice to  make. 
It said  that I had a choice to make, too. I've chosen. Now it's your turn to
 choose.
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 The story goes that some time ago a man punished
 his 3-year-old daughter for wasting a roll of 
expensive gold wrapping paper.
    Money was tight and he became even more upset when the child
 pasted the  gold paper so as to decorate a box to 
put under the Christmas tree.   
 Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift box  to her father
 the next morning and said, "This is for you, Daddy."    
The father was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction, but his 
anger flared again when he
 found the box was empty. He spoke to her in a harsh manner, 
"Don't you know, young lady, when you give someone a present 
there's supposed to be something inside the package?" 
The little girl looked up at him with tears
 in hereyes and said, "Oh, Daddy, it's not empty. I blew kisses into it 
until it was full."   
The father was crushed. He fell on his knees and put
 his arms around His little girl, and he begged her to 
forgive him for his
 unnecessary anger.  An accident took the life of 
the child only a short
 time later and it is told that the father kept that gold box 
by his bed for all the years of his life. 
And whenever he was discouraged or faced
 difficult problems he would open the box and take 
out an imaginary kiss and
 remember the love of the child who had put it there.  
In a very real sense, each of us as human beings 
have been given a golden box filled with
 unconditional love and kisses from ourchildren, family, 
friends and God.
 There is no more precious possession anyone could hold.

  You now have two choices ... you can:
 1. Pass this on to your friends, or
 2. Delete it and act like it didn't touch your heart.
 As you can see, I took choice No. 1.
 Friends are like angels who lift us to our feet
 when our wings have
 trouble remembering how to fly.
