A Box of Kisses

Aug. 07th, 2011

My Dear Rishi,

This week you will turn five, once again I will not be there for your birthday. You are growing up so fast and I miss watching you grow up. There are times I just want to drop everything in this world and be  with you.  Rishi have a wonderful birthday and  hope you get to keep the gifts I sent to you. God bless you Rishi, as a father my wish for you is to be always happy and remember. Even though I am so far from  you I love you and miss you. You are always in my thoughts and prayers.  Today's story is called A Box of Kisses.

A Box of Kisses


A man punished his 3-year-old daughter for wasting a roll of gold wrapping paper. Money was tight and he became infuriated when the child tried to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree.
Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift to her father the next morning and said, “This is for you, Daddy.” He was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction, but his anger flared again when he found the box was empty.
He yelled at her, “Don’t you know that when you give someone a present, there’s supposed to be something inside it?”
The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and said,”Oh, Daddy, it is not empty. I blew kisses into the box. All for you, Daddy.”
The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little girl, and he begged for her forgiveness.
The man kept that gold box by his bed for years and whenever he was discouraged, he would 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 humans have been given a gold container filled with unconditional love and kisses from our children, friends, family and God. There is no more precious possession anyone could hold.

Rishi, I miss you and love you very much sweetheart...God bless you!

With lots of love, hugs and kisses,

Daddy.

P.S: Have a fantastic birthday :)
