　　 I’ll never forget my first daughter, who died too early from a bad accident. During those years, life was　 36　 . One Christmas I found my 3-year-old daughter　 37　 with a roll of golden wrapping paper. I had bought the paper to finish a rather important project. So I became　 38　 and scolded her loudly, “You are not good. And you are　 39　 your father’s money. You don’t know how hard your parents are working.” She was　 40　 and cried bitterly, running away.

　 　　41　 , she brought a gift, a golden　 42　 made of golden wrapping paper to me the next morning and said, “This is for you, Daddy.” I was　 43　 of my earlier hurting words, but my anger rose again when I found out the box was　 44　 . I shouted at her, “Don’t you know, when you give someone a present, there is supposed to be something inside?” She　 45　 at me with tears in her eyes and cried, “Oh, Daddy, it’s not empty at all. I blew　 46　 into the box. They’re all for you, Daddy.”

　　 I was completely　 47　 . I put my arms around her and begged for her　 48　 . A year later, a serious　 49　 took the life of my daughter. I was so sad that I　 50　 in bed for three days and three nights, saying nothing with tears rolling down my cheek. From then on, I hated cars and kept the golden box by my bed for many years. Whenever I was　 51　 , I would take out an imaginary kiss and　 52　 the love of my daughter who had put it there.

　　 In a very real　 53　 , each one of us, as humans beings, has been given a golden container　 54　 with unconditional love and kisses ... from our children, family members, friends, and God. There are　 55　 no other possessions that anyone could hold more precious than this.
