Part 2 Winner Chicken Dinner Best Present I Never Got

Part II

Best present i never actually
recieved

So as i was telling you earlier 
in part 1 

My mum sent her brother to
the shop to buy me my birthday
present

Long story they haven't been
close since she got sick recently

So when she asked and he went
the shops to buy it for me

When i only just got the 1
present and card from my 
mum

I could and honestly did for
a second think where is the
1 from you 

Until my brain engaged and 
this i thought 

The greatest and most thoughtful
i never got was that

Because i know how disingenuous
and easy it would be to pick another
card and bottle up and give it to me

As apposed to how much thought
must go in to 

Not buying a token gift instead

And that is why and when i say 

That is the best present i never
actually got

Many gifts given, over time are cast out, and a token gift is no gift at all, this way however you can remember this Birthday, when you got the best present that you never actually got! Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
