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.
