On Friday at work, a woman was going around, and asking everyone what was the greatest gift their husband or wife had ever given them. (apparently, she had been given a gift she did not like and was taking a survey to get a list of great gift ideas to take to her husband) Without hesitation, I said the greatest gift Rich has ever given me are my children. She just stared at me for a moment. There was a long akward pause, and then she started to cry. She wanted to know why it was my greatest gift and why I had answered so quickly. Everyone else had to think it over and most answers were of a material nature. Rich has given me many wonderful gifts over the years. Don't get me wrong. I am a succor for diamond rings, weekend trips alone with him, and love notes. This woman asked me what was the greatest gift, and I immediately thought the greatest gift he has ever given me are my children. We talked for awhile and then she left with a whole new perspective on gifts. I am grateful for my three gifts and I love them.
