Favorite Birthday Gift
Author: OuttaTime
Let’s face it, people who have been alive for more than thirty years have received a lot of birthday gifts, and sometimes it’s tough to even remember what you got last year! I too, can’t remember what I got last year, but I do remember what I got for my 22nd birthday from my grandpa. Now when you’re 22, you’re probably not expecting to receive a wall clock as a birthday gift. But I was delighted when my grandpa gifted me with one of his favorite automobile clocks. Grandpa collected those clocks over the course of several decades, and though I liked to think he would be around forever, I knew he would one day pass. When he gave me that automobile clock, I knew it would be something that I could remember him by forever.
I hung my grandpa’s Chevrolet clock in my room and now it helps me keep track of time and reminds me of all the wonderful memories I shared with him. I’ll probably pass it on to my kids one day.
