Story of a Hat
About two years ago my grandfather received a hat for his birthday. It was a hand-woven hat from Ireland and it looked expensive. My aunt (his daughter) bought it for him unaware that he already owned a plethora of hats just like it. I asked him if I could have the hat and he was happy to relinquish it.
My grandfather has been my mother and my father since my actual parents lost custody. Though this hat was not intended to be my gift I treated it as if it was. It helped me remember the sacrifices my grandfather made for the sake of my future and I treasured it.
As with all good things, the hat was lost shortly thereafter. I was quite upset when this happened and my girlfriend gave me a new one just like it for Christmas. Now the hat represents the love my grandfather once gave me and love I receive each day from my girlfriend.
