I could learn a lot from an 8-year-old

Using her own money, my daughter purchased a present for the child who lives upstairs. She did this because she wanted to make sure that we were being good neighbors and she wanted to share. This is simply how she is.

Tonight, she decided that she was ready to deliver the present that she purchased (school supplies, basically). However, we hadn't found time to wrap the presents because we were traveling, so she grabbed a Santa hat of hers and put the present in it. When I asked her if she was really okay with giving away her hat, her response was "I don't really wear hats that much so it's okay."

I'm so proud and I wish I could ever be that naturally and so easily giving. What a thoughtful, beautiful child.
