Years ago, money was so scarce in one household that a man got furious with his three year old daughter for wasting a roll of gold wrapping paper on a present she put underneath the Christmas tree.
The next morning the little girl brought her father the present she had wrapped and said, "This is for you daddy."
The father, ashamed of his anger, had another quarrel with his daughter after he opened his gift and saw that it was nothing but an empty box.
He exploded, "Don't you know, when you give someone a present like this you should put something inside the box!"
The little girl looked up at her father, with eyes full of tears, and said,
"Oh daddy, I had put a thousand kisses for you."
The father almost died of embarrassment.
He then hugged his daughter tight and asked for her forgiveness..

People say that the man kept the golden box next to his bed for the rest of his life, and whenever he was angry, sad or depressed, he would take an imaginary kiss from the box, which always reminded him of his daughter's love...
In a very real sense, each one of us has received a golden box full of unconditional love and kisses from our children, parents, family, relatives, friends...
There is nothing more beautiful or more precious in life, than LOVE. Cherish all that u have... and also all the people around you...
