"The Gift of the Magi" Before You Read: Prized Possession

My Mothers braid.Before my mom went throuh kimo therapy She cut off two of her big braids. She gave one to me and my dad, an one to three of my brothers. The braid is important to me because it is a symbol of what my mom went through for me and my brothers. It is also a reminder for me when I am sad or mad. When I am feeling down I take out my moms braid. When I take the braid out it brings back so many fun memories. For as long I live I plan to keep her braid with me throughout my life, and maybe pass it on to children if god blesses me with them.
