THE GIFT



My friend - she reaches out to me, smiling.  For more than 30 years, her arms have always been there.  She hugs me, offers me a cup of comfort.  Always, saying, "I love you."

What did I do to have such a rich reward?  Nothing.  Unmerited grace.

What does she expect in return?  Nothing.  Unconditional love.

The Gift - of herself.
