Some time ago, a friend of >mine punished his 3-year-old daughter for wasting a roll of gold >wrapping paper. Money was tight, and he became infuriated when the >child tried to decorate a box to put under the tree. > >Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift to her father the next >morning and said, "This is for you, Daddy." He was embarrassed by his >earlier overreaction, but his anger flared again when he found that the >box was empty. He yelled at her, "Don't you know that when you give >someone a present, there's supposed to be something inside of it?" The >little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and said, "Oh, >Daddy, it's not empty. I blew kisses into the box. All for you, >Daddy." The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little >girl, and he begged her forgiveness. > >My friend told me that he kept that gold box by his bed for years. >Whenever he was discouraged, he would take out an imaginary kiss and >remember the love of the child who had put it there. In a very real >sense, each of us as parents has been given a gold container filled >with >unconditional love and kisses from our children. > >There is no more precious possession anyone could hold. > >Regards, > >Fred Dehkordi >Design Engineer >Texas Micro Inc. > >############################################################## >IPC Designers Council Mail List provided as a free service by IPC using >LISTSERV 1.8c >############################################################## >To subscribe/unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with >following text in the body: >To subscribe: SUBSCRIBE DESIGNERCOUNCIL <your full name> >To unsubscribe: SIGNOFF DESIGNERCOUNCIL >############################################################## >Please visit IPC web site (http://www.ipc.org/html/forum.htm) for >additional information. >For the technical support contact Dmitriy Sklyar at [log in to unmask] or >847-509-9700 ext.311 >############################################################## > ############################################################## IPC Designers Council Mail List provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8c ############################################################## To subscribe/unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the body: To subscribe: SUBSCRIBE DESIGNERCOUNCIL <your full name> To unsubscribe: SIGNOFF DESIGNERCOUNCIL ############################################################## Please visit IPC web site (http://www.ipc.org/html/forum.htm) for additional information.
