In reply to Goodbye Gift.....Ideas/feedback, posted by shrinking violet on April 6, 2005, at 18:26:21
Hi everyone,
I'm at work right now so I can't respond in length to everyone as I'd like, but I want to thank you all for your input so far. I think I'm definitely going to go with something for her garden, if not the magic beans, then something that she will be able to plant and have it regrow every year, I really like that idea (although, I admit I know nothing of plants or flowers, or which of these would be the best to get her?). Also, I've never seen her garden, and given that she is in a wheelchair I'm not sure if it's a traditional garden or one that is in a flower box...? So, I need to make sure it would fit and be unobtrusive, etc. And, again, I know nothing of flowers or plants (so any help in this area would be very much appreciated!)....But I still also like the Buddha figurine and the book as well....
As for things she could keep in her office, she already has a painting that I painted her, hung on her wall, that I gave her for Christmas. So, unless she takes it down after I'm gone (I keep thinking she will...), she'll have that to remind her. Also, I gave her a mug she uses to drink tea out of at meetings, and she has a small glass bottle filled with stones that I also gave her, sitting on her bookcase. So, I don't want to go overboard and have her office turn into some sort of shrine to me. :-P
Other opinions, ideas, would be very helpful. Thank you all so far!!
I just hope Tuesday's session goes well enough so that 1) I get another and 2)I'll actually *want* to give her a gift after I see her again...
