I cried in the restaurant when she gave it to me. I normally always cry when my family gives me something. My brothers always try to surprise me with little gifts here and there of things I've said I would like to have. Last Christmas from my dad, I received DVD of all the home movies he took on his 8 mm camera. I have my brothers (which are both quite a bit older than I) of when they were younger before I was born of their holidays together and then my first Christmases and birthdays. The best part was watching it with my dad. It was the last present I received from him.
