My most cherished gift was given to me many years ago, close to 50 years ago. A young girl made me a necklace from paper clips and wrapped the paper clips in paper and glued the paper around each of the paper clips. I could slip it over my head with ease. It was colorful and the only gift I received that Christmas season. I cherish it to this day. My children would ask me about it when they were young and going through my jewelry box. I would just smile. They would not have understood the meaning of such a gift. The gifts my children made for me growing up are so special. I have kept them all. My girls are now in their 40's.
