"I didn't receive gifts living with my mom, we were too poor, we barely had enough to eat, I felt sorry for my mom, I felt guilty for wanting a gift so much, I didn't tell anyone what I had discovered, I carried that sadness alone."

That is sad... 😭 ...especially that you felt guilty for wanting a gift. I wish I could ensure that every child has a gift each year, something to bring excitement and joy. 💙
