The Gift My Brother Couldn't Give

In the first years after my brothers, sister, and I left home, there were several Christmases in which our ability to give fell far short of our desire. In fact, we often found ourselves getting very creative if we were going to give any Christmas presents at all. But those early Christmases also contained some of the finest gifts I`ve ever received, and one of those was the gift my brother Jim thought he couldn`t give.

Jim had chosen a difficult road, working for himself instead of collecting a weekly paycheck like the one I got from the department store where I worked, and his funds were always limited.

As Christmas approached, we all searched for the perfect gift for each family member. Since I knew Jim harbored a secret desire to write, I bought him two beautifully hardbound books consisting of nothing but empty pages, so he could fill them with his own words.

In sharing his most beloved treasures, he also hoped to share the joy they`d given him with those he loved most.

It didn`t matter that Dad mostly likely would have had more interest in wading through 'Volume 7' of an encyclopedia printed in Swahili than the psychedelic world of Tolkein. He understood the profound meaning of his son`s gift. Fighting back tears, Dad held the treasured volume in his hands and said, 'I promise to give it back, son, as soon as I`ve read it.'

Smiling broadly, Jim turned his attention to my gift to him. Although he was clearly moved by the books, a strange awkwardness washed over the room as I realized he had no gift for me.
