Gift Giving Remediation

Six years ago today I first heard the word "biopsy"..... and life as I knew it would never be quite the same. That C word has a way of staying in my rear view in a way that hopefully helps me relate to others. This afternoon, friend Jerrie came over to share a bowl of soup and a needful chat. She lost her older sister, Juanita, to that dread disease while we were in Colorado and I wanted to be there for her.
But, she was there for me as well---and came bearing a gift.
A gift that was beautifully wrapped and filled with the best---chocolate-covered nuts.
Even the finishing touch blessed my "insides." A message that made me smile---a gift that took on a life of its own---an extra blessing for me.
Jerrie has a knack for gifting---genuine heartfelt gift-giving----wrapped in finery as well as love.
I need lessons. I could learn from her.
