Ben and I gave Christmas cookies to his French Horn teacher. But I'm learning that spontaneous gifts are often the ones that make me smile. Like saying thank you to the woman who bagged my groceries ( she seemed surprised).
And the other day, I walked past the Salvation Army bell ringer...I wasn't sure how much cash I had and knew I might need to pay Ben's teacher. After I bought my groceries I went back and emptied all my change into the red bucket. " You came back...thank you so much" It wasn't the amount of money that mattered..it was that I came back.

Yes. It's the coming back. Or as Carol Rawlings, it's the "standing with you". Those are the real gifts. It's showing up on the last day of chemo with a checkered flag. Those are gifts we remember. Mom
