The Best Gift

The best gift a person could ever give me is a story. Especially if it is their own story. It is a gift no one can ever borrow from me and not return. It will never get lost or stolen or carelessly thrown in the trash. It will never need to be repaired or scheduled to be serviced. It will never collect dust on a shelf or go out of style with the seasons. It will not have to match with any of my furniture nor will it take up any space in my closets.
And it will never be forgotten by me.
