Brother-sister bonds are made in heaven. We tease and irritate each other, knocking each other down, but we can’t live without each other. This is the story of me and my brother. My elder brother Sam and I used to fight a lot when we were young, but at the same time, if anyone else tried to hurt any of us, the other would scratch his face and made him cry. And now, we don’t even get a chance to see each other much.
Sam had to leave our home to find work in a big city. Despite objections from father which included frequent heated arguments with dad, he had left home. Since then, he rarely visits us. Things weren’t the same as before. I was in contact with him all through these years, but the fact that things were not right for us as a family stung me. But this year I decided to do something to bring him back home. If I do not succeed, the least I wanted was to remind him of our old days and the bond we all shared.
I wanted to use our old photos to make his gift because every picture, tells a story. And we had a lot many stories of our childhood. So, I decided to buy personalized gifts online and send them to his current office address. My best friend Poonam is aware of this relationship between my brother and my whole family and wanted to help me do something to get everyone together.
She introduced me to this company called Zoci Voci that manufacture photo lamps, a beautiful idea for a personalized gift in Ahmedabad. We both opened the website and discovered these creative shapes of personalized lamps with light emanating from it. This was exactly what I wanted. Light radiating from our old pictures would force him to think about our old days and remember us.
They had so many designs and shapes of personalized lamps and photo frames online. I wanted to accommodate as many pictures as possible. So I booked their best seller product pillar photo lamp. It was an 11.5-inch tall lamp that can have 13 photos. I selected our most memorable pictures and uploaded them along with my order.
I tracked down till it reached my brother’s office. Now, I couldn’t do anything but wait. I was worried whether my gift made an impact on his stern emotions or not. Two days passed without any response from him. On the 3rd day, my dad received a call from my brother and he kept on crying. He kept saying sorry for all his faults. My dad too apologized to him for everything that had happened.
The next day, my brother came home and gave us all a tight hug. It was an all-time awaited family reunion. He told me that those memories through the pillar photo lamp made him remember all our childhood times. Our mother’s love and yummy food, father’s teaching, and sister’s love. He also confessed that he was gathering courage and words for the two days he did not call up.
This customized gift got my family together. I would suggest anyone buy personalized gifts online and remind your loved ones the affection you have once shared. Because in the end, you remember the relationships and love shared is all that matters.
