Although he rejected me, I still care for him to some extent. I’m just being cautious of how much affection I’m doling out.
I went shopping and found a cute elephant pendant, so I bought it for him. I didn’t tell him why I specifically chose the elephant design, but one day he’ll know this:
One of the first things I learned about him was that his mom has Alzheimer’s Disease and can’t even remember him or his siblings clearly. They say an elephant never forgets and so to me that symbolized the importance of memories, so I got it for him.
I don’t expect anything in return; I just want him to know I care.
