saw a goddaughter i haven't seen in more than twenty years... the last time i saw her she was still a young girl... now she's a full-grown woman... (ugh! i am old!)
guess what, she greets me then happily introduces me to her officemate as the godmother who used to give her books... she adds: 'different books... aesop's fables... nice ones... hard bound!'
whoa! i don't even remember those anymore... but i am delighted that she liked them... and really touched that she still remembers them...
i have another goddaughter i didn't see for years and when we saw each other again, she told me she used to look forward to the gifts i send her for christmas as the toys were really nice. a bride-to-be remembering her childhood presents?! aawww!!! :")
not all stories are as heart-warming though, hehe...
there was a time i kept on giving my older godchildren organizers. year after year, 'twould be an organizer. wide drawers, tall drawers, storage boxes, the like.
then one time the dad said to my goddaughter, 'your godmother keeps on giving you organizers because you're so messy!'
ooops... wahaha... i don't even know how my goddaughter is at their house. i was buying those gifts simply because i myself found them useful. i wasn't at all insinuating anything.. anyway, i stopped giving organizers after that.
i moved on to organic soaps. i gift them because:
1. i find them gentler than regular soap.
2. they'd be used up and won't contribute to any clutter, hehe...
disclaimer:
it's not because i'm implying that someone needs to take a shower... ; p
