Time for Thanks, Gifts, and Giving ❤

In introduction (or a simple reminder)–a few years back I read an article in the Tribune that offered personal stories about “The Gifts that Stay with us for a Lifetime.” The sweet, silly, nostalgic stories about the ‘gifts’ given really resonated with me. I requested friends, family, and readers to share similar memories to be posted here.

The response was overwhelming.

Once again, I am asking for YOUR stories, in your words, about the ‘gifts’, whether literal or not, that have stayed with you. Send them to LiteraryMary@comcast.net with the heading, re: Thanks, Gifts, and Giving. I plan to post them the last week of the year, December 26 through 30.
