She didn't want to take it and like many of you I told her, let me have this opportunity to do something for you and someday just "pay it forward". Every time the occasion happens when I am able to help someone else, it makes me feel as if I am the one who has received a special gift. Is that how ya'll feel?
Yes - and it's probably HARDER to be on the receiving end. You chose the right words to help her receive your gift. Thank you for sharing that with us.
