I was talking to my husband about memories. Have you ever notice than whenever we talk about things in the past you never, or almost never, mention anything material?
I have noticed that with myself... I always talk to Miguel about the kind of plans my grandparents took me to, trips we took together... Except for one story about a certain Christmas present when I was 9 all of the anecdotes were about how loved they made me feel, not how many things they bought to make me happy.
Sometimes we think we can replace not speding time with your loved ones with presents. I understand presents are a way of showing appreciation, and don't get me wrong, I wouldn't turn down a gift (I don't want to be rude ;-) ), but no amount of presents can replace quality time. Talking, laughing together, learning together, getting to know who this person reallt is...
Invest in time, not in presents.
