Summary Of Gift From The Heart

Different Gift’s but Still from the Heart In Casandra Palmer’s “ Gift’s from the Heart” she talks about how exchanging gifts during the holiday’s with her family is always very meaningful. However growing up in my family we didn’t celebrate holidays due to religious beliefs. So instead of the traditional way of gift giving, we instead do special events for one another. Though this is different from giving a loved one a physical gift it is still just as important because like a traditional gift we plan events that are centered around the person receiving the event interest thus making it meaningful. Palmer states in her essay that when her family give’s gift’s ( “ each item has a purpose). Just as the gifts Palmer gives her family serves
Event’s like the one before-mentioned also give people special experiences and memories that become important to people. Palmer mentions in her essay how her daughter Tabitha gave her a necklace that resembles the necklace from the movie “Titanic” . It wasn’t the fact that the necklace was a replica of the one from the movie that mattered but the experiences that came from watching the movie together with her daughter that made the gift special. This is very much relate-able to me I have a nine year old younger brother who adore very much. Now like most kids his age he loves to play outside. So on certain days when it’s just he and I, I’ll take him to the park . To, my little brother doing that with him means the world to him. Most people would find it perplexing that something like going to the park would be seen as great gift or special event to a child. But, it is a special gift to my brother because he and I get to create new experiences and memories together. This means so much because he and I have a thirteen year age gap. And, most of his friends that have older siblings don’t spend as much time with them as I do him. So he knows that the time I spend with him is very special and precious and we’re creating experiences that he’ll remember for
