A Precious Gift
Join Timmy, a 6-year-old boy with Down Syndrome, on an emotional journey in Montgomery, Indiana. Timmy's family is always busy, and he feels lonely. Determined to show them that time is the most precious gift, Timmy encounters multiple challenges. Will he succeed in teaching his family the true value of time?
Timmy lived in Montgomery with his mom, dad, and big sister, Therese. Everyone was always so busy with work on the farm, school, and community activities. Timmy felt very lonely and wished they could spend more time together. One day, he found a dusty old book in the attic that said, 'The Secret to a Happy Family.' Inside, it said that the most precious gift you can give is time.
Excited, Timmy ran downstairs to show his mom the book. - Mom, look what I found! It's about making families happy! - Not now, Timmy, I'm busy. Timmy's heart sank. He decided he needed to find another way to get their attention.
Timmy decided to ask his dad next. - Dad, can we spend some time together? - Maybe later, sport, I've got work to do. Timmy felt sad again. His family was always too busy. He wondered what he could do to make them understand.
Timmy even asked his big sister Emma, but she was too busy with her friends. - Emma, can we play together? - Not now, Timmy, maybe later. Timmy felt like giving up. He sat on the porch, thinking maybe they would never understand.
Just then, Grandpa came to visit. - What's wrong, Timmy? - Everyone is too busy for me. Grandpa thought for a moment. - Sometimes, people forget what's important. Let me help you. Grandpa had an idea. They would create a 'Family Time Treasure Hunt.'
Grandpa helped Timmy hide little notes around the house, each note leading to the next. Each note said things like 'Take a break and play a game with Timmy.' When his family found the notes, they realized how much they missed spending time together. They all gathered in the living room, laughing and playing games. Timmy's heart was full. They had finally learned that time was the most precious gift.
