A silver necklace, with a little key attached to it. That was the only thing that my grandma left for me when she died. At first I was a little mad because I thought she was going left something with great value like a car, a ring, a house or stuff like that. My cousins were the luckiest, because all the best gifts were given to them.  At some point I was really jealous of them. I never thought that my silver necklace has a deep meaning and a great value that only my grandma knew I was going to recognize at some point of my life. The necklace has a plaque and a key attached to it, with a strange symbol in them. Someday, when I have nothing to do, I investigate the symbol in the internet. It really has a great meaning. The plaque has the Saint Benito’s cross, who was one of the first exorcists in the world. At the other side, it has a little prayer that talks about defending me of all that bad wishes and thoughts. The key was a symbol of opening all the best opportunities in life, and getting out the worst. Now I know why she gave that silver necklace to me. When I was a little kid, I tell her my dreams. They were big dreams about going to work in Disney. Make movies that could send the world a message. Get in every people’s hearts, and change them. If you change mankind, you change the world and its future. She had big expectations in my future. That necklace was like an amulet, but not for luck, but for success. The luck is for the people that make no effort in achieving their dreams, and want a holy help. That was a gift with the only purpose of protecting and helping me in this long and hard road. Now, I use my grandma’s silver necklace everywhere I go. Every time the problems are ahead me, I look at it to gain confidence. That was the best gift she could gave me. It has more value for me than any car, ring, or any expensive material in the world. So, if someone that loves you gave you an insignificant gift, rate it. Sometimes all the meaningful things in life, are the most simple ones.
