A Gift

My grandmother who has cancer gave gifts to all her grandchildren tonight.

The gift is nice, but that is not really the main thing. Even the thought behind it is not the main thing. When she handed me the small, yellow envelope, I realized the gift was merely an extension of herself. Her life rose up in my mind, then, in sharp focus: it has been a gift given daily to those around her.

Will you give yourself to someone? It is a matchless gift, a lifetime of love.
