They got me two mugs: one with a sheep design and the other with a cat design. The cat mug, unfortunately, broke. They weren't particularly expensive looking, but I loved them because of their design and one other important thing about them.
My boss's fiance is really poor financially, but he is possibly one of the most love-rich and caring person I know, other than my boss. When my boss visited Egypt and her fiance, she came with 1 000 USD from her own pockets and from donations from others to give to the poor during Ramadan and stayed in conditions where there was inadequate, if any, sanitation, and, a fact with a lot of gravity, where their own family didn't even have enough cups of their own. The fiance's family don't have much to give, and yet, they still gave me such wonderful gifts.
They definitely didn't need to get me two mugs, especially when they could have used them better. But now, the mugs are special in some way, even the broken one. Is it love? I don't know; I can't describe love other than it brings the ultimate happiness and freedom. But, what I do know is I was touched. Touched by such a wonderful gift.
ATG, what are the most sentimental gifts you guys have ever received?
