The Gift of the Magi works for the city, this is their country cousin!
I was going to save this for Christmas Day BUT you have set the perfect table for this...

Amazing story.
Help people while they are alive and in need. Flowers on the grave doesn’t do any good.
I know I won’t always have my parents around. Gas money for his dr appts, wood pellets for their stove, lunch money for no reason.
So this story resonates with me.
Thanks for posting it.

Every year when this story is posted I read it multiple times.
The first time I scan quickly.
The second time, I’m looking for a particular emotion.
The third time, I slow down to read each word by itself in the context of each sentence.
It’s always a wonderful story.

Nice story. All the kid had to do was save for 4 years and he could buy a 1885.
