[LOW] 07-49 Gift
I know most have had gifts given to them since they were little kids, but me and mine? We didn't have that luxury. See growing up the way I did we didn't celebrate holidays. They had no importance in the life of a soldier. We got something it was a new weapon, not a new toy. Not a present. We had no Christmas, no birthdays. So the first time I got a gift, a real gift? Was a simple black leather wallet to hold my money in that Rachel got me.
I mean yeah it's simple. It doesn't have any secret compartments that hide anything like a microchip or anything. It's just the first thing I've ever been given. Given because she wanted to give it to me. Something that is mine and mine alone. It's special to me because of that, and because Rachel gave it to me.
Though the best gift ever? Rachel carrying my child.
