The marketing concept of a "free gift" with purchase, has become a bit of a metaphor for unwanted and unasked for junk. These free gifts are often useless clutter that nobody really wants, leaving us to question whether they ought to even be called gifts. One has only to think of the happy meal toy to quickly realize that one could easily replace the word gift with landfill fodder. Life gives us many "gifts" which we do not ask for, some that bring something of value to our lives, others which detract from our lives, and of course there is that proverbial clutter. Thus, it seems inevitable that we will win some and lose some in the roulette game of life's free gifts.
Oh, Loa! You made me cry! This was so special to read today, and I am honored to be considered your free gift with purchase. So happy that we can be both friends and colleagues. Also glad my scintillating conversational skills don't keep you up all night! 💜

Glad you approved. It has been my pleasure to be your friend and colleague.
Once again, your outlook inspires me my friend! Maybe I’ll start calling you my gift with purchase for going to nursing school 🤓💖
Oh, thank you my friend! Though I am not quite sure if I am a good enough "free gift" to be the consolation prize after the cost of nursing school :-)
