Dad and Daughter -- Lovely Story

Dad and Daughter -- Lovely Story

This is a lovely story (Please take some of your valuable time to read it).



It's said that we have a choice to make. I've chosen. Now it's your turn to choose.






The story goes that some time ago, a man punished his 5-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 over reaction, 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 her eyes and
said,


"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 our children, family
and friends.


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 chose No 1
