My traditional object is a stuffed rabbit. My grandfather gave it to me and it became something super important because it was my first stuffed animal and it accompanied me throughout almost my entire childhood. My grandfather tells me that it was manufactured in Italy and exported to Venezuela. This is very important since since I left my country I do not share with my grandfather nor do I have much contact, so I have this to remember him. Since then I love receiving stuffed animals and now it is customary for me to receive a stuffed animal as a gift on my birthdays. This connects with my identity since I consider myself a super affectionate person and I really like hugs.  Since I love my stuffed animal so much, In the future I hope I can give one to someone else that will like theirs as much as I like mine.
