Finally, Jeffry and I have shared nineteen years together. He is also the father of my children. Secondly, unwrapping this present was very meaningful to me because it was sentimental at the same time. The reason my pendent with my dad’s frame is important to me is because he was murdered twenty-six years ago. My spouse gifted me the necklace because he wants me to cherish the memories I shared with my dad. Also, it is his way of expressing his feelings towards me. In addition to that, he knows it is a traumatizing event in my life that I will never grow out of. It is a gorgeous gold necklace, and it came with a custom picture of my dad, along with two angels on the side, which represent a powerful symbol of love, remembrance, and a spiritual connection. Lastly, receiving such a meaningful present for Christmas gives me com- fort when I feel lonely, anxious, and scared. For example, I am able to fiddle with the pendent and I feel some source of comfort. It is almost like having him present at all times. It also brings me joy because even though he is not physically present, I am able to wear the necklace any- time making me feel protected. Every time I look at the pendent and I am going through hard situations, all that comes through my mind is all the memories we were able to share, and that I would forever remember. Overall, unwrapping the magic in one single present, like the one I received for Christmas, can be very sentimental. Last year, my spouse gifted me a valuable necklace with a pendant that holds deep meaning. It is something I will forever be grateful for as it is just not a material gift. In addition to that, he is also letting me know that he cares about such moments of my life; his thoughtful gestures not only reinforce our bond, but also make apparent his love and care for my feelings.
