Deciding They Don’t Need It
Every time Brandon and Kathy debated over the box, they decided that they didn’t need it. They always discovered a way to solve the arguments on their own. Whether the box contained an old secret or a solution, they didn’t know. But they never needed it.
“I realized that the tools for creating and maintaining a strong, healthy marriage were never within that box,” Kathy wrote. “They were within us.” Ironically, not needing the gift is what kept their marriage alive.
Their Story Goes Viral
Kathy didn’t keep this story to herself. After she and Brandon opened the gift, they shared their findings with Facebook. Kathy told her story on the Facebook page, “Love What Matters.”
Her story quickly went viral. The post garnered 18,000 likes, 900 comments, and 4,000 shares. People all over the world found inspiration in the Gunn’s story, commenting on how wise Kathy’s Aunt and Uncle were. Many believe that the gift worked exactly as it was intended to.
The Gift That Keeps On Giving
Kathy told People that she’s surprised at how many people became inspired by her story. “My husband and I are in awe of how much attention this story has garnered,” she said. “It seems to be the gift that keeps on giving!”
Initially, Kathy posted the story to bring attention to her great aunt. Now, Aunt Alison is even more surprised that the Gunn’s at how much her gift has spread. She had not envisioned this when she made the gift nine years ago.
