What is the Xmas present that you have ever put most thought into?

1 Answer

Answer :

I always put thought into presents for people I care about. This year, my son’s father passed away (a few weeks ago). The loss is so shocking, so sudden, and we are devastated. His dad was very much a larger than life character. I felt a lot of the time, my son lived in his shadow. We did discuss this and I feel in a way he will flourish. So I got him a dream catcher. I want him to live his dreams now.
