When my mom was a teenager, she worked to support herself and her family. Dad lost his job. Mom wasn’t capable of working. For her 16th birthday, my grandpa gave her this cheap figurine. She hated the gift at the time and tossed it somewhere it couldn’t be seen.

20 years later, she realized how much the gift meant to her. She now considers it one of the most precious things she owns.

I think she is beautiful.
