● I am not very gifted in arts and crafts and so I normally don’t make things myself.
● I prefer to gift people cards and flowers.
● However, a few years back when I was in 9th , one of my closest friends decided
to immigrate to the US.
● On his last birthday before leaving, I wanted to do something really, special for
him.
● But unfortunately, I didn’t have much pocket money saved up.
● So, I went to my mother to get some money to buy him something expensive.
● But, my mother suggested me to personally make him something rather than
buying him something, which he wouldn’t even care to take with him.
● At that time, I came up with idea of drawing a sketch of me and him together.
● It took me a lot of time to come up something satisfactory since my drawing skills
were not so good.
● I remember I spent nearly 4- 5 hours making that sketch.
● My mother helped me a bit too.
● Then I got it framed and gifted it to him on his birthday.
● I still remember his shock when he opened my present since
● He expected it to be a wall painting because of the shape of the present.
● But after finding out what it was, his eyes swelled up with tears.
● He didn’t say anything, we just hugged each other.
● 2 months later, when I was talking to him on facetime, I saw our portrait hanging
on the wall in the backgroun
