Sometimes the Best Gifts don't come in a box and don't need to be gift wrapped.
I have a tradition that I started a number of years ago. On my Christmas Tree near the top is a Gold box shaped like a book. Inside this book box are the names and last greeting cards for friends, family and special client friends that have passed away. This way they are always a part of my holidays and each is remembered. Each year before I mount the box on the tree, I open it and read each card and remember each person whose memory is tucked safely inside.
This afternoon I added in the card from last Christmas of a past client and wonderful friend Dorothy Miller that passed away earlier this year. She was one of my favorite people in the world and we would still talk at least once a month even though it has been over 5 years since I sold her last home. I have worked for her and her numerous real estate interests over the span of my entire real estate career. We always remembered each others Birthday and special occasions
As I checked my e-mail after taking a break from decorating the tree, there was a greeting card from Jacquie Lawson.com. I clicked on it and it was one of the most beautiful sentiments I have ever received and it filled me with such amazing and wonderful feelings that her family would remember me in such a special way. They signed the animated greeting from Angel Dorothy.
This was one special and meaningful gift that I will always treasure.
