I filled a box with some food and old clothes. While I was doing this,I encouraged the boys to donate some of their less favorite things. Meghan watched quietly as the boys took out their old toys and put them in the box. Then she walked away. A few minutes later she came back with Ava,her favorite doll. She put it on top of the other toys.“Oh,dear,” I said.“You don’t have to give Ava. You love Ava so much.” Meghan said,“Ava makes me happy,Mom. Maybe she’ll make another little girl happy,too.”
