Sometimes the most unexpected gifts are the ones that stay with you forever. One evening, after a long and busy day, I came home and found a small package by my door. It wasn’t my birthday, there was no special occasion, and I hadn’t ordered anything.
I opened it and found an old vinyl record. It didn’t have a cover, it was a bit scratched, but it carried this magical simplicity. Attached to it was a note: “This record played at the party where we met. I hope it brings back those warm memories.”
To this day, I don’t know who sent it. It was someone from my past, from a time when life felt a bit simpler and music a bit louder. Now that record sits in my collection, and every time I play it, it feels like I’m stepping back into that moment. It wasn’t just a gift—it was a reminder of how small gestures can carry so much meaning.
