Male Female

I'm really a person who thinks a lot when giving something special to someone. This time, I took the initiative to make a dreamcatcher. I collected different kinds of materials, and some things were already present at my home. It took me almost 15 days to prepare that dreamcatcher. Since I was also working, my job required me to work long hours from 10 to 5. I only had time to prepare the dreamcatcher after my office hours. It really took me that much time. This special gift was for my elder brother, who has always been there for me. He is a humble, hardworking person. He loves me so much and has always guided me whenever I feel lost. He is always there for me. I thought, why not present him with a special gift? He will feel it in his lifetime, and he will remember me for a lifetime whenever we are separated due to circumstances. After he received the gift, he really loved it. With teary eyes, he smiled and hugged me because he thought it was a symbol of the love I have for him.
