The most thoughtful gift I have ever received was a calendar from a friend with whom I had spent a week in Baltimore as her caregiver while she was undergoing a bone marrow transplant. She knew that we would get to spend very little of the upcoming year together, and so she purchased a calendar so that I would feel her presence even after she died. I cherished that calendar and still do, 15 years later.<br /><br />The gift your wife gave to you is a beautiful testament to her understanding of you. How wonderful for her to know you so well and to appreciate all that you've done with your writing. Your happiness with and appreciation of your first book must have been a beautiful gift for her to receive as well. thank you for sharing! d.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6414826739553623574.post-17265022088168183232014-12-25T19:43:14.458-05:002014-12-25T19:43:14.458-05:00Jumping Jack FlashJumping Jack FlashAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
