Unwrap the Magic
Carol Infante
Presents are wonderful to receive, whether they are Christmas presents, birthday presents, or even no-reason presents. The one present, though, that stands out in my memory is a necklace with a pendant with my dad’s picture framed. For me, that one memorable present is more about who gave it to me, my spouse. The reason I was given a necklace with my dad’s picture framed is because he is no longer alive. It also symbolized the bond and memories we shared. It made me feel loved and appreciated. First, it is magical to unwrap an unexpected gift from my thoughtful spouse. The first reason the necklace is valuable to me is because of the person who gifted to me: Jeffry Infante, my amazing spouse. Also, he is so special to me because we shared memories for nineteen years. In addi- tion to that, his gestures make me feel valued and cherished. For example, I mentioned to him I wanted to reconsider pursuing a career. We spoke about the pros and cons. He encouraged me to continue my education.
