presents

The other day my daughter and I weretalking about the 3 best presents we had ever given to each other. my daughter guessed right - a bracelet she gave me just before she went travelling, a gaelic blessing framed (it had been spoken at my father's funeral and a model aeroplane standing on a globe which she had had specially inscribed with "intrepid traveller". I gussed 2 right - a locket (inscribed with the same gaelic blessing - given just before she went travelling)and a tiffany key ring with a silver globe at one end and an aeroplane at the other. The third was a silver four leaf clover (actually "father christmas" gave her this!). What I realise now is that by far the greatest present we have given each other is love.
