I adored reading this! I could hear the giggles between you and your daughters with the sushi making. I could feel the warm fuzzies you experienced from receiving the lovely birthday cards. And I can feel the sense of love and belonging you gave your friend for his birthday.

I'm with you. I LOVE giving the gift of time to my friends and family. Meals and adventures together are much better than a scented candle!

Thank you for this piece! LOVE IT!
