This is a difficult one to answer, because how do you rate one gift over another? To be honest, one of my favorite gifts is a carved wooden jewelry box that was given to me when I was a teenager. I wish I could take a picture of it, but it was accidentally knocked off my dresser and destroyed a few years ago. But the thing about it is that is it’s one of the few possessions I held on to for several years. It traveled with me across the country and throughout my entire time in the Navy. It broke my heart when it was eventually broken. It’s a simple gift, but to me, it meant the acceptance of my moving one step forward towards becoming an adult.

So what was the best gift you’ve ever received?
