Money was tight and he became very angry when the child tried to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree However，the little girl brought the gift to her father the next morning and said，“This is for you，Daddy” The father was upset by his earlier overreaction，but his anger flared again when he found out the box was emptyHe yelled at her，“dont you know，when you give someone a present，there should be something inside?” The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and cried，“Oh，Daddy，its not empty at allI blew kisses into the boxTheyre all for you，Daddy” The father was crushedHe put his arms around his little girl，and he begged for her forgiveness. Only a short time later，an accident took the life of the childHer father kept that gold box by his bed for many years and，whenever he was discouraged，he would take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there1
