The Gift

I never really ask for anything when Christmas time comes around. Usually I say, "Just get me money," because I never really want anything and it makes me feel bad but I can't change the fact that I don't want anyone spending unnecessary money on me. Plus I love giving gifts. It makes me feel good.

So I can only imagine how good Harry felt. Today Harry gave Antonio & I our own gees. When he pulled them out the box I couldn't even tell what it was. But then I noticed that there was a belt that goes with it. I always told people to give me money because no one ever knows what I need. But Harry was straight on. I needed a gee. I didn't even think of that.

It surprised me completely but I did notice Harry kept asking about it a lot. I still was surprised though. I think it is a really good Christmas gift because it is something that I needed and something that Harry wanted me to have. It doesn't get any better than that.

I love my gee though. It's white and pure. It has no stains from hard work and you can tell it's new. It symbolizes me. I'm new to sho-shin-do - white belt - but at the same time I'm looking to perfect my techniques with pure precision.

Thank you for the gee. I appreciate it.  One of the best Christmas presents I've ever gotten.
