28. A year or so after release, my mom bought me the original Playstation. She didn’t know which games to buy, so she rented Triple Play, Crash, and Jet Moto from a local video store (remember those?). I honestly don’t even know how she afforded it at the time. That always stuck out to me.
29. A sketchbook with pencils, colored pencils and erasers from my dad. Drawing and making little comics has always been a huge hobby of mine and it felt amazing to have it acknowledged especially by my dad because he’s always been supportive and interested in the things I come up with. A simple gift like that carried a lot of meaning for me.
