On several occasions since Dad left us, Mom has found little gifts that he had stashed away for us. Recently she found four little "groan tubes" - plastic noise makers - in a desk drawer and gave one to each grandchild, as I'm sure they were intended to be. Seth loves it and loves that it's from his Papa. I love that he keeps giving gifts even though he's no longer with us. It reminds me to be grateful for all of the gifts - both concrete and intangible - that he gave us while he was here and continues to give even though time and space now separate us. Generosity was one of Dad's best qualities. At his core, he was a giver and I can only hope to emulate that attribute.
