Teddy bear & earrings
Normally parents or someone in your family gives you a gift.The earrings are an item that teaches me more about my identity. I normally always get earrings or any type of jewelry, but normally I lose them. This is why these earrings are special to me.
I was a baby when my aunt from my mom's side of the family gave me the earring as a present when she first met me. I was a baby, and also got a teddy bear which I still have this special items helps me realize even when someone in your family isn't as close with don't get to see them as often. Having many memories and not being able to see them as often makes the item even more special.
The earrings remind me of my family it shows they are still a part of it even if I there not there at that point. I don't play with the teddy bear I've always had it when I'm sad to hug it its like a warm closure. I keep the teddy bear in my closets since I don't like keeping it out since I worry I could spill something on it. I've always been told by my mom that her cousin gave to me a gift when she first met me. I really like my earrings, I've only lost them one time but I found them. Luckily I haven't lost them completely.
