A Gift Overdue: People I Should Have Thanked Before
When I was given an Amal Fellowship activity called “Gift Overdue,” my first thought was, why am I doing this? What is the purpose of writing letters to people who have helped me in my life? My second thought was, how am I even going to do this? I had never done anything like this before. The task was to think about the people who had played a meaningful role in my life, write them a letter of gratitude and actually send it to them. At first, it sounded simple. Once I started thinking about it, I realized that it was not.
