I knew he could not afford a different gift and he did his best by giving me something that was more of a symbolic gift, something I really could not use nor play with for many years to come.
I had pretty much stopped asking for birthdays, Christmas gifts, and everything else. Even today I do not ask for anything and if someone else asks what I want I really have no clue nor real desire for anything. However I do buy others gifts all the time.
