Dear Mom and Dad,
I can't really think of which gift is my favorite over the years, but every one that sticks out in my memory is from you. Statistically speaking, that makes sense because a large percentage of the tangible gifts you given me are from you. But that leads me to something else, all of my life lessons, physical attributes and personality traits are basically gifts from you as well. I am extremely thankful for all you have provided me with, both tangible and personal. So for fun here is a list of my most memorable gifts:
Boom Box: This is the earliest gift memories, I was so excited when I got this for my birthday. It began my ability to play the music I wanted to hear and was a representation of becoming a true American teenager; I began to blast my N*Sync and Britney Spears in my room and dance and sing like a crazy fool.
Clarinet: This wasn't Christmas or my Birthday, and technically it was 'school supplies' but I remember when we bought my clarinet I wasn't supposed to use it until school started. I have a confession: Whenever I was home alone that summer I got that clarinet down and played it, well tried. I had the mouthpiece on backwards...Oh how far I have come. Well if you guys had never gotten me that clarinet, I never would have become the musician I am, marched in major national parades, or chosen the career in music I have.
Fuse: This seems like sort of a silly gift, but the fuse to the radio in my car has made my life to and from destinations so much less silent and boring. I was so excited when I got the tiny little plug. It is just one of my favorite gift stories.
