Wrapped up in the gift
If you have had children in your life you have had this experience. You find a gift for them, something perfect, something that suits them and you know they will love it. You have the anticipation as you wrap it up and tie the bow. You get so excited the day arrives and you give them this gift. As they unwrap it they are wide eyed, mouth open or perhaps a shout of glee! They wrap their arms around you or give you that big smile and you know in that moment they know they are loved....keep that word in your mind...moment.....because if you know children that is how long the magic lasted. In a matter of time, they still love the gift, but at times it will become the main source of their frustration, especially if its a video game...., It will become their biggest heartache, picture a lost teddy bear, or their forgotten item under a stack of other items when they are bored.... What happened.....what brought them excitement and joy has now fizzled to...
