I’ll never forget my first daughter, who died too early from a bad accident. During those years, life was   36   . One Christmas I found my 3-year-old daughter   37   with a roll of golden wrapping paper. I had bought the paper to finish a rather important project. So I became   38   and scolded her loudly, “You are not good. And you are   39   your father’s money. You don’t know how hard your parents are working.” She was   40   and cried bitterly, running away.

      41  , she brought a gift, a golden   42   made of golden wrapping paper to me the next morning and said, “This is for you, Daddy.” I was   43   of my earlier hurting words, but my anger rose again when I found out the box was   44  . I shouted at her, “Don’t you know, when you give someone a present, there is supposed to be something inside?” She   45   at me with tears in her eyes and cried, “Oh, Daddy, it’s not empty at all. I blew   46   into the box. They’re all for you, Daddy.”

       I was completely   47  . I put my arms around her and begged for her   48  . A year later, a serious   49   took the life of my daughter. I was so sad that I   50   in bed for three days and three nights, saying nothing with tears rolling down my cheek. From then on, I hated cars and kept the golden box by my bed for many years. Whenever I was   51   , I would take out an imaginary kiss and   52   the love of my daughter who had put it there.

       In a very real   53   , each one of us, as humans beings, has been given a golden container   54   with unconditional love and kisses ... from our children, family members, friends, and God. There are   55   no other possessions that anyone could hold more precious than this.

But at home a    33    story is told. Later that day, when I    34    supper in the kitchen, my daughter suddenly stood behind me very 35    .

On the kitchen floor later, I found some flowers by the door.

That night, while I lay          39    in bed, a voice in my deep heart said, “While    40    with a stranger, you are so polite, but with the children you love, you are so easily       41    .

She said, “Oh, Mom, that’s okay. I love you       49    .” I hugged her and said, “Daughter, I love you too, and I do like the flowers.”
