To the editor:

All I want is a gift from your heart. The final cost has nothing to do with the gift. If it cost $1,000 but was not from your heart, then the gift was only worth the amount of money you spent on it. If, however, you got me a gift that cost you nothing but it came from the heart, then it was worth more than you could ever imagine. This year, give me nothing but your attention, understanding, hope, love, forgiveness, joy, friendship, faith, happiness, a warm smile, a handshake, a hug, a kiss or a warm embrace.

But most of all in this Christmas season, I want your presence, and the peace of mind that comes with grace.
