A mother who was stressed and going through hard times, saw her young daughter taking a large piece of expensive wrapping paper from a roll,the mother said what are you doing with that paper. The daughter replied I am going to wrap up my presents. Mum then said Don't waste the paper.
The daughter later came into the room with a box wrapped in the paper and said here you are Mummy its for you. The mother opened the box and said you naughty girl you have wasted the wrapping paper this box is empty. To which the daughter said but mummy its full to the top with kisses I spent all afternoon blowing them in there. The mother felt awful and begged for the daughters forgiveness.
A few weeks later the daughter was killed in a tragic road accident and the mother only had the box of kisses to help her. She kept the kisses by her bed and took one of the imaginary kisses out every time she felt troubled or distressed until she died.
