Story:

A person I really love, my brother, is a sailor and once a year, for half a year, he’s abroad. He is a person I’m very attached to. This item is from Jordan. I happened to go there for a trip and we met each other unexpectedly, he was working, he’s a captain and I was there for the trip and we met and he gave this to me us a gift. It holds great significance for me because it’s from the most valuable person in my life and I’m forced to not see or hear from him once a year, he might be gone even for 10 – 11 months. When I was on that trip in 2018 in Jordan, he was actually gone for almost a year and to me it’s really important and I wanted to share it. And now he’s away and it’s Easter and I’m a bit overwhelmed. The route of that trip was Jordan – Saudi Arabia – China – Africa – Greece. I did it in 2018. For me it holds a lot of sentimental value because it was by chance that I saw him and, okay, this trip has been really important.
