Simply being able to enjoy each others 2 was enough. No gift on earth could come close to 3 our love for one another.So when the mailman knocked on the door, I was very 4 to see a medium-sized package from my mother. Both eager and curious to see what was awaiting us in the package, I 5 tore open the box and immediately my eyes were filled with tears. Inside the box was a 6 folded quilt my mother had made by hand. It was white with rose 7 and gold thread. The backing 8 beautiful tiny purple flowers.Accompanying the quilt was a 9 from my mother:“Happy Anniversary ! 10 is a quilt. The purple was your wedding colour and the gold thread 11 the golden rings you two exchanged on your wedding day. May this quilt keep you warm when times are cold and 12 you of the day you said your vows-Love, Mom.”I was touched 13 words. I knew my mom surely had sacrificed to be able to afford this.
