Lovely read! -- made me think of yesterday, I've wanted to send a friend who was diagnosed with cancer an appropriate gift, but I am so far away I resorted to amazon.com - and their packages.

In the end - I just needed her to know I am thinking about her and want her to be well soon!

One very special gift -- so often overlooked but the most priceless: time. Stopping by, calling and/or visiting --listening to our loved ones...is a gift!

Great writing!!
