I’ll never forget my first daughter, who died too early from a bad accident. During those years, life was 36 . One Christmas I found my 3-year-old daughter 37 with a roll of golden wrapping paper. I had bought the paper to finish a rather important project. So I became 38 and scolded her loudly, “You are not good. And you are 39 your father’s money. You don’t know how hard your parents are working.” She was 40 and cried bitterly, running away.
41 , she brought a gift, a golden 42 made of golden wrapping paper to me the next morning and said, “This is for you, Daddy.” I was 43 of my earlier hurting words, but my anger rose again when I found out the box was 44 . I shouted at her, “Don’t you know, when you give someone a present, there is supposed to be something inside?” She 45 at me with tears in her eyes and cried, “Oh, Daddy, it’s not empty at all. I blew 46 into the box. They’re all for you, Daddy.”
I was completely 47 . I put my arms around her and begged for her 48 . A year later, a serious 49 took the life of my daughter. I was so sad that I 50 in bed for three days and three nights, saying nothing with tears rolling down my cheek. From then on, I hated cars and kept the golden box by my bed for many years. Whenever I was 51 , I would take out an imaginary kiss and 52 the love of my daughter who had put it there.
In a very real 53 , each one of us, as humans beings, has been given a golden container 54 with unconditional love and kisses ... from our children, family members, friends, and God. There are 55 no other possessions that anyone could hold more precious than this.
