Faith for a Friend's Loss

When I got my Giving Key for Christmas last year, I was so excited. I loved it the moment I laid eyes on it. My key said "faith." These past few months, I began to worry that I would never be able to give someone my key, whether it was because I was so awkward or because I didn't feel the connection.

A few days ago, the father of one of my best friends passed away. My friend was in shock. I went to his funeral today and she started crying in my arms. It was so hard to see my best friend like this. I had brought a note for her and my key in a little bag with me, just in case I wanted to give it to her. As soon as I saw how much pain she was in, I knew she needed my key more than I did. I put the bag in her hands. As soon as I did, I knew she was the right one to give it to.
